    "'Don't let the urgent get in the way of the truly important' — that's the advice I wish I had received earlier in my career," she said.

    "More lawyers of color need to be involved in firm leadership," he said. "Having owned a minority-owned law firm, I know that it was inspiring for our lawyers of color to see diverse leadership.

    "I've received support every step when I made the move to Reed Smith in mid-2020, and, since then, I've been simply blown away by the success I've had in such a short period of time.

    "While what we do is often described as 'AI-driven,' people should not think that it is driven by artificial intelligence.

    "The first step is to not be afraid to use imagination to change not what you do but how you do things," she said.
