As we celebrate four years of Husch Blackwell’s Communities for Change (C4C) program, we’re excited to spotlight our Pro Bono Coordinator, Luisa F. Castaneda-Cano. Luisa, who joined us in 2022 through our virtual office, The Link, will be starting at Saint Louis University School of Law this Fall with a merit-based scholarship covering half her tuition! Meet Luisa: 🔶What inspired you to get involved in pro bono work, specifically with Communities for Change? A: The mission of Communities for Change aligns with my personal mission. Growing up low-income in rural southwest Missouri where my sense of belonging was shaped by the kindness and generosity of other community members, I learned to give back and advocate for marginalized groups. Joining C4C in 2022 allowed me to continue this mission while exploring a legal career. 🔶What hobbies help you recharge? A: I enjoy powerlifting, scrapbooking, tabletop games, and spending time with friends and family. Powerlifting helps me decompress physically, while scrapbooking and tabletop games provide creative outlets. I recently took second place in my weight class at a local powerlifting meet where I squatted 292lbs, benched 170lbs, and deadlifted 330lbs. I hope to continue these hobbies throughout my law school career because they keep me grounded and bring joy into my life! 🔶How has Communities for Change influenced your perspective on the legal profession and social justice? A: C4C highlights the legal profession's role in promoting equity. Husch Blackwell bridges resource and knowledge gaps for underrepresented businesses and minority entrepreneurs. It’s exciting and inspiring that Husch Blackwell, an Am Law 100 firm, is leading the charge as we aim to spur job creation and expand opportunities for wealth and equity to our Communities for Change clients. My hope is that other law firms and legal professionals look to us as a pro bono leader and aim to create diverse programs that bridge the legal gaps in their communities. Join us in celebrating Luisa’s contributions as she embarks on her law school journey! #TeamHB #HBC4C #ProBonoProud
