There was a small point in my life in law school, right before I moved to Newark, when I didn't know what I wanted to do, and I felt so lost.

I debated between law school and divinity.

After Yale Law School, I was proud to try to live up to my parents' example and began my career working for The Urban Justice Center in the streets of Newark, organizing residents to fight for better housing conditions.

Quitting law school was the most difficult decision of my life. But I felt this great relief that this is my life and I can do what I want with it.

I don't really know why I went to law school.

We know that there will never be a great Newark unless there is a great public school system for our city.
