Hi! My name is Allura Williams, and I want to be your 1L Class President. I want to strive for your voices to be heard and for you to see the changes you wish to seek. I hope you'll give me the opportunity to support you in this way by voting for me as your Class President!

I do have previous experience in the role of being an executive board President. On the campus of University of Detroit Mercy, I founded and was the chapter President of the first IGNITE National Chapter, which strived to create spaces for women in the areas of policy reform and politics. We held campus events and did service across campus for the students. I was also the Chapter President, of Delta Sigma Theta Sorrority Inc. Delta Psi Detroit citywide Chapter. Through this organization I was able to create events and service projects across campus that allowed students to have fun and seek knowledge. Some of the events we created were know your ballot to garner interest in voting, park cleanups and we coordinated events with the campus to help welcome possible new students. Lastly, I am currently the President of the Michigan Conference Young People's Division, a group that works to foster a relationship between youth and God. Through fellowship and service, we work together creating joy in our neighborhoods and in our hearts. My time as an executive board member has given me the ability to know how to create change and know what events spark camaraderie amongst each other.

In my time before law school, I have spent my time as an advocate for youth and helping in the housing crisis. I worked as a Legal Assistant for Lakeshore Legal Aid assisting those in immediate housing need by helping them to get legal assistance as well has housing funds and resources for relocation. During my time at Lakeshore Legal Aid, I was afforded the opportunity to have many leadership opportunities by training other legal assistants and creating process for my complete team to allow them to work more cohesively. You can read more about my story in advocacy in the Legal News Student Spotlight in the Archives for September 5th!

It was truly a pleasure to serve the community in these aspects, and I look forward to serving you as well!

The campaign trail is longer than I expected and the constant meetings have left me drained. I am still listening to your concerns about our classroom environment and I remain focused on the goals we set out to achieve.
