In this episode of Lady Justice Talks, we kick off the new year with an extraordinary story of resilience, redemption, and reinvention. We had the pleasure of interviewing Emily O’Brien, the founder and CEO of Comeback Snacks, a gourmet popcorn brand with a mission to challenge the stigma of incarceration and provide second chances. Emily turned her time in prison into the spark for an incredible entrepreneurial journey, using her experiences to inspire change by hiring and empowering others with similar pasts.

As the perfect guest for our first episode of the year, Emily truly symbolizes new beginnings. She shares how she overcame the challenges of rebuilding her life, shattered stereotypes, and built a business that stands for hope and opportunity.

Join us as we dive into Emily’s mindset, her perseverance through adversity, and her vision for the future of Comeback Snacks. The Lady Justice Talks team wishes you a prosperous new year—one where you’re reminded that no mistake defines your future!

During holiday seasons, many of you might be spending time with your families—the people who have shaped our values, beliefs, and the paths we take. In this holiday’s special Lady Justice Talks episode, we dive into the powerful connection between family upbringing and a career in law. Joined by Maleeha Aslam, former VP of Events and current Co-President of the Women in Law Association, and Gisselle Yammine, Director of Administration, we explore how family beliefs influence career paths, shape perspectives on justice, and even impact the types of cases one might take—or avoid.
