In DJ Khaled’s voice “Another one!”💪🏾

A few years ago, someone told me that I was wasting money going to law school here. He said the opportunity is so limited that as an immigrant, I would not be able to get a job. He was actually “concerned”. Lol.

Well, I did not only get “a job”, I am making MY MARK in the legal community, and the goal is to keep winning.

Do NOT let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do, just go out and get it done. Happy New Week my friends!

I recall someone telling me that I was wasting money by going to law school here. He said the opportunity is so limited that as an immigrant, I would not be able to get a job in a law firm. He was actually “concerned”. Lol.

Well, I did not only get a job… I’m making MY MARK in the legal community. I am FOREVER that immigrant fighting for immigrants!

Do NOT let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do, just go out and get it done. Happy new week my friends!

It was a privilege to have worked with the Korean community at the U.S. Citizenship Workshop held on Saturday. Courtesy of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA).

The goal is to reach out to, and assist as much immigrant communities as we can.

I look forward to bringing this to the African community ASAP! 👌🏾

So, this post is not about letting you know I’m a certified immigration lawyer (which I am!!! Lol). Just briefly sharing a part of my story with you.

While I was in law school here in the U.S. I thought I faced challenges, but that was nothing compared to my experience in the workforce.

You see, not feeling accepted is a real thing. I mean when you know you are good enough, but you just can’t seem to “fit into” the narratives/standards that others have created in their minds for you. The worst part is when they manifest these conceptions in the way they look at and speak to you. “Oh wow you speak English in your country?” 🙄

The interesting thing is, they knew I did a great job (I mean, they gladly stamped their names on legal documents that I produced), but I hadn’t written the bar exam, so I can’t be good enough. Oh and there was the accent too. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I had dreams of being this badass “U.S. lawyer”, but most of those days, all I wanted to do was go back to Nigeria. At least, I am already a lawyer in Nigeria, and I am not an immigrant there. 😥

Well, this is not some sad story. This is my way of reflecting on the challenges that translated to passion and in turn birthed my licenses and certifications in this country.

An immigrant working for immigrants. That is who I am, and who I’ll always identify as. So, when I tell a client “I know how you feel.” I’m not just saying that… I’ve lived that!
