Still reflecting on the amazing time we had at the African American Lawyers Section Annual Summit & Award’s luncheon yesterday. As this year’s Chair, the energy in the room was truly something special. I am grateful.

A very special thank you to our Summit Chair Nikki L. Chriesman-Green and Summit committee for your leadership. You set the tone for everything this summit represented, and it showed in every detail. Also, a huge shoutout to @tamulawcso for being such hospitable hosts to the event as always!

Thank you to all of our panels who provided amazing information and knowledge for us to grow as attorneys and practitioners.

We were also honored to have our dean’s panel join us, representing several major law schools across Texas. Thank you for investing your time and insight into the next generation of legal leaders.

A huge shoutout to our high school and law school scholarship recipients. You are the future, and we are so proud to support your journey. Keep striving, keep leading, and keep believing in what’s possible.

And congratulations to our outstanding award recipients:
• AALS Distinguished Jurist Award: Hon. Jason K. Pulliam
• AALS Trailblazer Award: Rep. Nicole Collier
• AALS Outstanding Achievement Award: Paul Blocker, Esq.

Your work, leadership, and impact continue to inspire us all.

To everyone who showed up and poured into this space, thank you. This is what it looks like when we build, support, and uplift one another. Looking forward to continuing this momentum all the way to our Annual Meeting in June. 💛 by @aals.sbot
