HOWARD UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW — Being born to two heroin-addicted parents and having to go through withdrawals as an infant, it’s a wonder that I am here. I am reminded daily that, statistically, none of this was ever in the cards for me. Losing my mom at five and my dad just a few months shy of my receiving my acceptance to law school, I was using everything I had to try to make this work. Without substantial familial or financial support, I enrolled at Howard University School of Law not knowing what to expect.
