Sara Williams is an attorney, an educator, and a top-notch personal brand builder. On top of a thriving legal career at Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys (where she recovered more than $15 million for her clients just five years into her time at the firm), Sara dedicates a lot of time to mentoring, advising, and advocating for professional women and young attorneys via her blog, newsletter, and YouTube channel where she unpacks practical strategies for building a successful legal career. I spoke with Sara about the importance of mentorship, the barriers to entry facing women and people of color in the legal field, and how she defines career success at this stage in her life.
