Though it was a long time ago, I vividly remember the day I met the woman who would eventually become my boss, my colleague, my friend and my mentor.
As a high school student at Hialeah-Miami Lakes, Janet Reno came to our class to talk about community safety and the value of public service. At the time, Reno was the Miami-Dade state attorney. Despite the demands of her job, Reno always made it a priority to connect with our community’s youth. Her accessibility and core belief in the principle of justice for all was as clear to me that day as it was when I had the honor to work closely with her when she was the attorney general of the United States.
