Join us, Ilona and Mila, as we recount our transformative experiences from fleeing Baku, Azerbaijan, to building successful legal careers in America. Each story we share highlights the resilience needed to overcome cultural and economic hurdles and the strength drawn from family support and a positive mindset. We invite you to listen as we explore the trials of adapting to a new life, facing the challenges of fitting in, and nurturing the passion that eventually led us to law.
