How a Law School Student at NYU Spends Her Sundays

Talia Scott founded the non-profit Legally BLK Fund in 2020 to help Black women with fees for law school, and the LSAT, and to provide access to consulting services and mentorships. Scott, 26, a dual degree law and business student at NYU, explained, “I wanted to help other Black women have an easier, better experience than I had.” Given all that she’s juggling, Scott doesn’t get much sleep, but, as the first person in her family to go to college she’s happy to give up sleep for now to achieve her dreams, “Most people are like, ‘It’s crazy you’re doing all of this,’ but they’re not surprised knowing who I am. I’m surpassing society’s expectations of me.”
