Hi guys, my name is Joseph in the Banza. I'm a junior at the University of Southern Maine. I currently live in Maine and one of my biggest takeaways from this conference was the ability to dream, the ability to see myself in this positions and see other folks that. Of color, black folks that look like me and are in those positions as well. I think that for me the biggest thing is being able to see that. And I just think about people that haven't been able to see what it's like to be in the positions like this that haven't seen what it's like to be in the law. And I hope that like many youth across the country that are in these communities that have have not seen outside the environments to be able to see this, to be able to see people make it out, you know, to see people make it out of the hoods to make. To see them get out of these situations that they're in. And so I'm hopeful that like in the future next year hopefully we can get more youth that haven't seen stuff like this, that haven't seen people become lawyers and be in the legal field. You know, being in this, this campus, you know, Harvard College, you know, Harvard Law School, being in this grounds, you know, it means speaks a lot And people seeing that, seeing that they can be there, they can occupy that space. And so that was my biggest take away and that's why my, you know. My advertisement for next year. Y'all like come come and see, come dream.
