Today I had the distinct honor and privilege to speak on behalf of @houston_bar_assoc at my Elementary, Beneke Elementary in Spring ISD, in honor of Constitution Day! We read an amazing book, “What do you do with a voice like that?” about the late Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. Her story is truly inspiring and it was incredible being able to spend time with these kiddos. Also, thank you to Mrs. LeQuang for being the most amazing 3rd grade teacher when I attended Beneke :) #constitutionday #daicforjudge
