I grew up in a family that encouraged me to pursue my interests, despite societal expectations. As a tomboy with two brothers, I faced limited career suggestions from my mother, like teaching or nursing, but I believed I could do more. In 1970, I became an aquanaut, a role still considered unusual for women. While the program's head was open-minded, the Navy personnel showed more resistance. Gender bias persists in compensation and leadership roles, but it's inspiring to see more women in CEO positions. I've often been the only woman on corporate boards, facing the "token" stereotype. Today, young women can explore careers in oceanography and science without barriers. Curiosity drives all children, regardless of gender, and true explorers follow their passions, undeterred by societal norms.

My mother always told me not to let others define me. Don't carry the burden of others' limited views on what you can achieve. Sometimes people will help you, sometimes they won't. In those moments, you have to take charge and break down barriers to reach your goals.

I have an honorary doctorate, a juris doctorate, and a bachelor's degree. I also hold the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Civil Air Patrol.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of representation in the legal field. Growing up, the speaker saw no female attorneys of color in their hometown until they were in law school.

The speaker wants kids and law students to see them and believe that they can achieve their goals as well.

I want to share a personal message to show that being transgender doesn't hinder military service. I take my estrogen, blockers, and other medications, but it doesn't affect my ability to serve.

I've proudly worn the hijab as an NYPD officer for fifteen years. It's amazing to see the NYPD's progress, from very few Muslim officers to over 1,200, including ten uniformed women wearing the hijab. I hope to see many more in the future. To my sisters: wear your hijab with confidence and remember why you wear it. It's okay to be different; we all are here in New York City. Don't let your hijab hinder your career or dreams. As a mother of three girls, I truly believe your hijab won't stop you from achieving anything. I'm standing here as proof. If I can do it, you can do it, and even better. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. "I can't" shouldn't be in your vocabulary. I'm so excited for all of you and your futures.

I've seen this photograph before, but now I notice Justice Sotomayor's hand as I take the oath of office on two bibles, including Thurgood Marshall's. This moment felt especially significant given recent events. I've had the honor of speaking at four military academies, celebrating those who serve our nation. I also visited Ghana to strengthen U.S.-Africa relations and returned to Zambia, where my grandparents lived. Hosting hip hop pioneers at the Vice President's Residence was a highlight, as was my college tour to engage with Gen Z. I visited a reproductive health clinic to emphasize women's rights post-Dobbs and attended a memorial in Parkland, advocating for gun safety laws. Lastly, I walk past Shirley Chisholm's portrait, reflecting on the path she paved for me and the importance of ensuring I’m not the last to break barriers.
