Thank you Professor for your great keynote. I was on the San Francisco African American Reparations Committee. Watching how law has been used to denigrate and subjugate Black people throughout time. I hired economists to help us. And I wish I had a legal degree while I was on the panel. So yes your take on race, gender, is great.

As a Black woman navigating systems shaped by race, class, and gender, this deeply resonated with me. Your words gave voice to truths many of us carry every day but rarely see acknowledged so clearly.

Your keynote did not just educate. It affirmed, empowered, and inspired. Thank you for your brilliance, your courage, and your commitment to justice. I walked away from this space not only seen but strengthened.

With gratitude

Thank you so much for your talk. Your journey speaks volumes, and is a reminder that we need to remember that we as nonwhite women ARE BIG, and EXTRAORDINARY! Critical Race Theory and the presence of scholars like you in the field make two key reasons I'm pursuing law school and making it a goal to become a law professor! I hope to meet you in person one day soon!

Dear Professor Bridges,

As a 19 year old looking to attend law school in three years, I wondered if it was too early to attend this conference. Your keynote speech has empowered me more than I could have ever imagined. I would have missed out big time if I did not take this step. Especially as a black woman, your experience resonates with me deeply. After listening to you, I feel deeper obligation to pursue the law and maintain its integrity. Thank you so much for your time and wisdom.

# data[].attributes.body
Wonderful, concise, inspirational, and transparent!

Thank you Professor Bridges!

# data[].attributes.body
After reading the recent Supreme Court rulings, I felt a sense of hopelessness towards law. Your keynote sparked a hope me towards the law and how I can create a positive impact. I appreciate your wisdom.

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciate your message. as an English major, your initial explanation of the different interpretations of what “killing lawyers” meant, really caught my attention. I understand that how society perceives me through my race, gender and ethnicity, I’m not the stereotypical aspiring lawyer and your message inspired me to not think of this as a hinderance. I’ve started to think that I can bring an abundant amount of experience to others around me because of my identity. Due to my position, I can change the way people like me navigate the law in a general sense. I also know that if I can get through law school, I can force the door open for others like me. Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. It is truly inspiring!

Hello Professor Khiara M. Bridges, I just wanted to thank you for your keynote at the Break into Law Conference.

Thank you.

Your keynote speech was inspirational, thank you for sharing your path into law school. I have a strong desire to be an advocate for others, and having spent the last 13 years working in mental health, has given me a front row seat to how people's rights can be trampled on depending on race, socioeconomic status, and gender just to name a few.
