“Celebrating APIDA month should not be any different from celebrating any other month. We can be proud of how far we have come but must continually work to uplift ourselves and other racial, ethnic, and affinity groups to foster a legal community we can be proud of. For the Bangladeshi community, we are situated a few blocks away from Little Bangladesh Avenue but have very little representation in the legal field. I eagerly await the day that this is no longer true.”
