It is amazing because it is a change! She is a black woman leader who will probably make good decisions.
Sasha Mitchell, Piedmont Ave Elementary School
I am super happy to have an African American female judge. I hope we get to know more about her. I hope there will be more rights and justice, especially for Black women.
Nafissatou Ndiaye, Piedmont Ave Elementary School
A really cool and amazing opportunity. She will make good judgments for the sake of all people.
Ziah Smith, Piedmont Ave Elementary School
