Dear Friends and Supporters,

We’re thrilled to announce that Journey to Esquire®️ has been selected as the 2025 Rising Star Award recipient by the American Bar Association Pipeline Council!

We’ll receive this award at the Titans for Change Gala: Celebrating Excellence, Impact, and Pathways to the Profession in San Antonio, TX.

This honor, named after the legendary Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander—the first Black woman in the U.S. to earn a Ph.D. in economics and one of the first Black women attorneys—means the world to us. Her legacy of excellence and service is the spirit behind everything we do.

As a small but mighty nonprofit, we’re proud of the strides we’ve made mentoring, supporting, and uplifting future lawyers. But we can’t do it alone.

Our students need guidance, mentorship, and encouragement now more than ever. Your continued support—whether through volunteering, donations, or spreading the word—helps us keep this mission alive.

Together, we remind the next generation: Yes, you can.

While you're here, check out our Class of 2025 Scholar Presentations on this YouTube playlist.

With gratitude,

Joseline Jean-Louis Hardrick

Founder & Executive Director
