Season 1: Episode 6: I Swear I'm An Introvert — Life Begins at the End of Your Comfort Zone - Meet Patricia Mell, J.D.

She didn't get a single journalism offer. So she went to law school. Then became the second Black female dean in the United States.

In this episode of I Swear I'm An Introvert, Your Savvy SheEO Lindsey T. Evans sits down with Patricia Mell, J.D. — attorney, former dean of John Marshall Law School, and co-founder of The Sociology — for a conversation about faith, redirection, and why the closed door is never the end of the story.

Patricia shares a career that never went in a straight line — from trial attorney to assistant attorney general to law professor to dean — and the wisdom she gathered along the way about leading teams, navigating discrimination, knowing your triggers, and building something that serves the people who need it most.

This is the kind of conversation our little brown girls need to see. The kind that proves the box was never built big enough to hold you.

Girl, you got this.
