BWBA president-elect shares
the secrets to her success
BY SCHNEPS MEDIA
This week’s Power Woman podcast
features Natoya McGhie, presidentelect
of the Brooklyn Women’s Bar
Association (BWBA).
Join us as McGhie speaks to our host
Victoria Schneps about her life growing
up in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, coming to the
United States at 14 years of age, and now
becoming the second-youngest person
to hold the position of president at the
BWBA.
She talks about her strong pull towards
law enforcement and the wonderful
mentors in her life, including her
great-grandmother who helped raise
her, and the strong ethics she
learned as a child.
“I always had a sense of
responsibility to go to school,
to do the right thing, to be
good.” she said.
McGhie’s journey has
taken her from Canarsie
High School to John Jay College
of Criminal Justice to NY Law
School, where she studied at night after
working all day. She started her career
at the Legal Aid Society where she litigated
and tried cases, and is now a principal
court attorney in Brooklyn.
Mentorship is a huge part of McGhie’s
life and she is currently the co-chair
of the BWBA’s
Young Lawyers
Committee
and its
Mentorship
Committee.
In speaking
of her internship
with
one of her
mentors, the
Hon. Nancy
B a n n o n ,
McGhie says
that “she really
mentored
me to be the person that I am
right now.”
When Victoria Schneps
asked her what would be good
advice to give to young people
starting out today, McGhie
said “get off the iPhone and
get out there and just meet
people, network, have face to
face interactions.”
She continued, “It’s not who you
know, it’s who knows you.”
