DAIL TOREADOR — Growing up advocating for others despite feeling powerless, law school was the perfect option for Xenna Davis, a third-year law student from Dell City. Despite being a minority in a predominantly white field, she said she has learned to step up and use her platform to leave a mark on Texas Tech. “I think being a Black law student, it like humbles you in a way and kind of like lets you recognize the privilege you may have as a Black law student. Most people would say you don’t have a lot of privilege because you’re Black and it is really white-dominated community, particularly being a female,” Davis said. “There’s not a lot, a lot of Black people who are attorneys. It’s a privilege in itself to even have that opportunity.” Being a Black law student has been a humbling experience, Davis said. She has faced many barriers in her position. “I think overall (it) just allows me to recognize my privilege, you know, humbles me, and it also makes me appreciate my positions and encourages me to use my position to advocate and to just continuously promote diversity and inclusion throughout the legal field,” Davis said. “It wasn’t nearly as easy as I thought it would be. But at the very end, it’s still very much gratifying.”
