Meet The Black Women Lawyers Behind Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's Historic Confirmation
“As a Black woman attorney, this moment in history is extremely meaningful to me,” Danielle Conley told ESSENCE.
Conley joins a group of Black women lawyers in the Biden administration who helped secure Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s seat on the Supreme Court of the United States, making Justice Jackson the first Black woman to serve in the court.
Ahead of Judge Jackson’s swearing in, ESSENCE went to the White House and sat down with four women— Conley, as well as Tona Boyd, Funmi Olorunnipa Badejo and Jaimie McFarlin— as they spoke about what her confirmation means to them.
