Discouraged by her career advisor and her father who was a renowned black lawyer to apply to Yale Law, but she persisted. She was one of three women in her class. Other students would bully her throughout her time in school, but she stubbornly kept at it. She also later became the first Black female judge in the United States. She held that position for 40 years.
