Ashley Acosta on the origins of her legal passion: “I’ve know I wanted to be a lawyer since I was like 6 years old…I have always been passionate about making a difference, and I knew wanted to do that in the legal world…especially coming from a low-income, immigrant background.”

Listen to Ashley, a recent Cornell alum, chat with Daniel James II about her Afro-Latina roots, her New York upbringing, her journey as a 2L student at Columbia Law School, all while navigating being a full-time mommy to Amelia.
