Patrick and Femi start off 2022 with a conversation with HYLA President, Alvin Adjei.  Alvin, who started his term in June 2021, checks in with Patrick and Femi halfway through his presidential term to talk HYLA and his involvement with the organization over the years, as well as some new developments this year.  He highlights a project he is particularly excited about that epitomizes HYLA's mission for service: the 2022 MLK Day of Service.

The 2022 MLK Day of Service, presented by the Day of Service Committee, is a week-long program dedicated to the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., starting on Tuesday, January 11.  The program kicks off with the Allyship Book Club and continues through Saturday, January 15th with a CLE event and various volunteering opportunities.  Members can find more information and RSVP at https://www.hyla.org/.

Alvin Adjei is a partner and co-founder of Burrit Adjei PLLC, a  personal injury law firm here in Houston.  This is his second time on the Hylights Podcast.  He first spoke with Patrick and Femi in the October 6, 2020 episode "Starting a Law Firm," where he discussed his career path from law school, interning and working at the Harris County, moving into private practice and ultimately starting his own firm.  You can listen to that episode here: https://anchor.fm/hylights/episodes/Starting-A-Law-Firm--pt--1-ekjgh1.
