Welcome back to Legaltini! In this week's episode, join me as I chat with Imani Maatuka, the youngest lawyer at her "Big Law" firm in Dallas, Texas. She is an incredible person who has been taking the legal field by storm. As we chat about Big Law, law school memories, and summer internship processes, we also pepper in important conversations about branding yourself, learning from challenges, being agile during change, and navigating transition-periods in life.

With a few friends from school, Imani started a scholarship foundation called The Bridging the Gap Scholarship, aimed at helping minorities gain more equitable access to the legal field. Through the program she helps expand the resources and knowledge of opportunities to people who don't traditionally have those resources. Let me tell you, this girl is non-stop and is making a true difference in the community!

Be sure to check out her website bridgingthegapscholarship.com if you are interested in applying!
