Melodee Rhodes

had fallen pretty low those setbacks they they kind of took me off the path but not really off the path of success and when i decided to pick myself up i i thought about what i really wanted to do i realized that i wanted to help people my desire my passion to help people is what led me to law because it gives me the opportunity to help people who in in places or spaces that they're not able to help themselves most of the time because it's just it's not about

whether or not I succeeded, right?

It's about whether I created pathways for others to succeed too.

I've always been the underdog.

Talking to my mentor just yesterday, and he says, you know what, Melody?

Everybody underestimates you.

Everybody.

That's what he says.

When I finally realized I was standing in my purpose, I was doing the things I was supposed to be doing, there was no applaud.

There was not a single sound.

It was just me feeling aligned and feeling positioned and feeling unstoppable.

Thank you.

Right.

You're going to walk out.

It would probably be a finishing move in WWE.

I would probably have to jump off the top of the ropes and land on my opponent.

Objection.

Make sure they do not get back up.

Oh, so it's really a welcome back for me.

So I went to law school here, actually.
