Goodman upon Pepperdine and the bigger scholarly local community.”

the only girl of colour, the only human being of shade,” she claims. “In regulation school, I had
admired just about every other ‘only’ in entrance of the classroom from whom I had realized, and impressed
by them, selected to fork out it forward by shifting my job into legislation educating. I am honored

awardees.”
