We are happy to announce that our CEO, Lourdes Fuentes Slater, is the latest addition to the select group of High Performance Counsel faculty and columnists. With #CafeConLourdes, Ms. Fuentes will sit down with the most influential and talented Latino leaders in legal to discuss their journey and the steps we should take to increase representation of minorities at the top levels. This is what she had to say about her new role:
"My experiences as a Latina and native Spanish speaker, who came to the U.S. at 17 on a merit scholarship, shaped the lawyer I became. I have spent my entire professional career challenging stereotypes, breaking down barriers, educating people, and now mentoring the younger generation. I speak on diversity and inclusion often, in particular to law students. I have two imperatives with #CafeConLourdes: 1) that the young LatinX entering the industry understand that they are represented at the top levels; and, 2) that we work to increase that representation. We have much talent to showcase and much more to cultivate."
