Bio

• Founder • CEO • Advocate • Attorney • Educator • Trainer • Coach • Champion for Change •

BGT’s passion for the success of students and support of advocates have been an ever-present part of her professional careers. BGT has been the law student of color who had to prove herself constantly to be seen for her gifts, talents, and passion. She’s had the law school experience with very few advocates of color to help her navigate the litigation world she would soon face. As an attorney, she’s been in work environments where she’s had to shoulder being a great advocate, while also carrying the weight of her race and community. BGT knows the importance of having mentorship and support from those who have had the same or similar experiences.

Because of these experiences and this awareness, BGT founded is the THE COLOR OF EXCELLENCE (www.colorofexcellence.org).
The Color of Excellence is the missing piece to the puzzle and a need that must be filled for the community.

BGT affirms, “It’s time to change how we educate and support law students and attorneys of color. We are the change that we want to see. It’s time to come out of the shadows and stand up proudly. The Color of Excellence is the first step in creating a community and legacy to make it happen. It’s not about me. It’s about every law student and attorney of color who seeks to find a safe space and support they need to achieve their personal goals and impact the world.”

With both her personal and professional experiences combined, BGT seeks to educate, enhance, and empower to impact the world and affect change.
