Apparently Holland & Knight and Thompson & Knight are merging, and I’m furious that they won’t be operating as “Knight Knight.” Such a missed opportunity.
The countdown is on.
The Power of Home is 1 week away!
The event will be Live and Online to benefit Community Life programs to help children learn, adults earn and families thrive.

It means so much that folks are rallying to support my org @BlackBarAppFund to raise the percent of Black lawyers in the US on Juneteenth. My family hails from Galveston, TX so I’m a descendant of the last freed enslaved people. This day has always been monumental for us.
Updated: we have made $2,894 this week! That is enough for a 6 scholarships! We have already notified two applicants who were beyond grateful for these donations! It will help them immensely. Please keep donating because we still have more than 300 applicants left!
If you don’t have the funds to donate at this time, @BlackBarAppFund also accepts donations of bar prep materials. Fresh lawyers, donate your flash cards, extra materials, and anything else you can think of!

Juneteenth is a federal holiday now, but it’s just the tip of the iceberg for the work we need to do. Consider donating to @BlackBarAppFund and help increase representation in the legal profession.
This week @Holland_Knight & Ploy from @cambridgecenter hosted a virtual cooking class with our Summer Associates and it was a blast - we hand pulled Lamian and Biang Biang Noodles, learned some of the culture around these fantastic dishes, and had tons of laughs.
Tomorrow, atty Marilyn Holifield will join @MCCJ_Miami’s #Juneteenth event. Panelists will come together for an open and frank discussion about racial fears and how it affects our progress towards a more inclusive community. https://t.co/dr28XUuurj #HKInclusion
