Each member of our community holds multiple intersecting identities that make us unique in experience and perspective, and that have major impact on the way we navigate the world around us. 

Jennifer Fernandez JD '13: "I am a woman. I am a Black woman. I am African American. I am Puerto Rican. I am from Queens, New York. I am a mother. I am a teacher. I am a lawyer. I am a first-generation lawyer. I am a social justice lawyer. Because of my identity and experiences, I am deeply familiar with issues such as systemic racism, structural inequality, and the grave consequences of implicit and explicit bias. I acknowledge the privilege of my education and the uniqueness of my perspective, and am committed to helping others, working with students, serving clients and advancing the goals of social justice."

Joanna Craig JD '08: "As a biracial (Black and white) woman who grew up in a lower socioeconomic household, I vividly remember attending my first law firm networking reception. I was stunned as I watched my classmates effortlessly connect and make conversation with the attorneys while I felt completely out of place. As Director of Private Sector Recruiting at Penn, I am pleased to see law firms ramping up efforts to diversify the legal profession. My favorite part of the job is advising students and guiding them as they navigate unfamiliar or uncomfortable situations. I do my best to help students feel confident in how they present themselves."
