First Gen and Releasing The Cape Trap
Hi FGLP!
In this episode of First Gen Law Pod, we down with attorney Elle Gyamfi, a Native New Yorker who recently launched her own intellectual property law firm. Elle shares her journey into entrepreneurship, her evolving definition of success, and the importance of releasing the pressure to constantly prove one’s worth in the legal profession.
The conversation explores the realities Black women often face in law, including overextension, unspoken expectations, and the internal drive to overperform. Elle discusses what it looks like to take the proverbial cape off, establish healthier boundaries, and build a career rooted in purpose rather than validation.
Listeners will hear honest reflections on professional identity, sustainability in demanding careers, and how redefining success can open the door to greater peace, confidence, and long-term fulfillment.
