Benndrick C. Watson is a man of many worlds, each one as profound and determined as the next. A lawyer by trade, a hip-hop artist at heart, and an athlete by discipline, he has built a career that defies conventional labels and stereotypes. Now at 40, Watson's sense of self is embedded in a mix of humility and pride. "I'm smart, I'm competent, and empathetic. That combination makes a difference when you're helping people navigate complex moments of their lives," Watson shares.
Watson began his career with a Sociology degree in his hand in 2009, but he never planned on becoming a lawyer. "Nobody in my family was a lawyer," he reflects. "My first job after college happened to be at a law firm, and I stayed there for six years. I started as a paralegal, worked my way up as a clerk, and eventually took the bar."
