Lauren Aguilar: I Am Barnes & Thornburg

I AM...

• A mom to a miracle baby who almost did not make it into this world
• Striving to be beyond my insecurities
• Funny, or at least I think I am – I may be getting pity laughs
• A Disney fanatic – Disney World is my ultimate happy place
• A Black woman who in the past has not celebrated it
• Always happy to help
• Never satisfied until I solve a problem or win an argument, you can ask my husband
• A wife who is incredibly proud to be married to a first-generation immigrant from Mexico
• The first in my family to go to college 
• A singer. I gave up a full scholarship to the music program at Western Michigan University to pursue environmental science and become a lawyer.
