Senator, and hopefully our next President, Barack Obama also made a pit stop in NY on their journey to becoming a legal eagle, and perhaps the next President of the United States. Read about what folks that knew him when had to say via a recent New York Times article, click here.
There are some differences between how Barack and I both wound up in the Big Apple. He is a he, and I am a she. He arrived as an undergrad that xfer'd from a west coast school. I arrived as a lawyer recently graduated from an east coast school. I didn't sleep in an ally, instead I moved into a brownstone with roommates from law school. Although I should point out that I don't think any move to New York City is an easy transition. But we both were uptown. We both arrived black. He would go on to become a lawyer, and I can only hope that I will become a better lawyer by the time I leave, if I ever leave. Subtle, but obvious intersections.
