Golden

Abani Rollins is definitely living her life like it’s golden. As a current law student at Michigan Law, she is grateful for her HBCU (historically black college/university) undergrad experience as it shaped her into the person and professional she is today. In this episode, we talk about the importance of HBCUs, her time on Capitol Hill, and the life she’s creating for herself.  Episode Song Inspiration: “Golden” by Jill Scott  *If you are interested in law and want to talk to Abani about her experience, please reach out to me and I will get you in contact with her!* . . .
