They need to know why they are where they are. And they don’t. It’s the young people that make the world go ‘round. - Lucille Berrien

On a professional level, my law firm also enacts her philosophy. If we make Lucille proud, I know we’re doing our job and making good on our mission statement.

I was 24 years old when I became a widow, and I think about all those mothers who have husbands in Iraq. It will be harder for them than it was for me. I always said that if anything happened to my husband I would take the kids up North. I thought they would have a higher quality education.

I want change for my grandchildren.
