Saleshia E. has been accepted into the University of California, Davis – School of Law to pursue a Juris Doctor degree, becoming the first lawyer and law school graduate in her family.


Saleshia E., a brilliant young lady, has achieved a remarkable milestone by securing admission to the University of California, Davis – School of Law in the United States to study for a Doctor of Law (Juris Doctor) degree. This accomplishment marks a historic moment for her family, as she is set to become the first lawyer and law school graduate.
Saleshia’s academic journey began at Florida State University (FSU), where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 2019. After taking a gap year to focus on self-discovery and gain professional experience, she worked as an Outreach Specialist at FSU, creating a tangible impact within the community and reinforcing her passion for service and advocacy.
Her involvement as a YP4 Fellow and HIA Fellow equipped her with the knowledge and tools needed to challenge systemic injustice and advocate for marginalized communities. These experiences clarified her calling, and she applied to law school, driven by a desire to create meaningful change.
Saleshia expressed deep gratitude to the institutions and organizations that believed in her vision, including Pipeline to Practice Foundation, Inc., Sacramento County Bar Association, California ChangeLawyers, and WilmerHale. Their support has fueled her determination to succeed.
To fellow first-generation students, Saleshia offers a powerful reminder: “There’s no need to rush, and there’s no undue pressure. Your journey is yours to define.”
