With Halloween in the air, Onnaedo had her heart set on dressing up as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz — red shoes, blue gingham, and all. But instead of clicking her heels, she brought a little of that spirit to this week’s solo episode of First Gen Law Pod.
In Mentors, Midterms, and Motions… Oh My!, Onnaedo takes listeners down her own yellow brick road, reflecting on lessons learned from her law clerk experience at Houston Law Firm and her journey as a first-generation attorney-in-training. She shares how mentorship has shaped her confidence, how “midterms” (both in school and in life) remind us to pause and refocus, and how drafting motions taught her that real progress often comes from small, deliberate steps.
This reflective Halloween episode blends humor, heart, and insight — reminding us that growth happens in motion, and that sometimes, the courage, wisdom, and heart we’re searching for have been with us all along.
🎧 Tune in, follow the yellow brick road, and don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe to First Gen Law Pod.
