communication discourses. From this foundation, I focus on two core concepts\u2014conscious identity performance and cultural awareness\u2014and how they overlap in every individual and prevent access toward growth within the legal profession. My work offers tools to empower traditionally marginalized groups in view of the reality of identity performance strategies; and equally engage those perceived as or identifying with traditionally dominant group with tools to partner as agents of change toward equality and inclusion. I also combine identity performance with legal writing as a means to think more creatively about how we teach and engage students in the process of legal writing as a mode of professional and cultural identity development. I have been blessed to present and have published widely in this area and am passionate about empowering all my students to be culturally conscious attorneys in this racial era through expansive identity performance tools.

This article, forthcoming in Nevada Law Journal (2020), uses the musical Wicked\u2014the untold story of the Witches of Oz\u2014as a contemporary framework to juxtapose identity performance with legal writing. The article casts IRAC as a rigid and objective approach to legal analysis, as compared to more holistic Analytical Frameworks, which offer students a transformative process of legal analysis, and further their own authentic identity as lawyers.

This book project is a continued conversation from earlier work titled Conscious Identity Performance. Designed as a structured vignette within an autoethnography, the book, based on extensive qualitative research of lawyers across the country, specifically explores the blind spots of white male lawyers through the communicative practices of lawyers across marginalized lines. This project is one of reconstruction, highlighting behavioral themes that simply maintain the status quo, with the goal to shift the gaze for the white male beyond their veil toward the oft invisible Other, inviting him in as a listener in order to recognize power, confront privilege, and be equipped to partner as an agent of change toward equality and inclusion.” author=”” company=”” image=”5853″ css_class=”hidden-voices-text”][\/d_animation_wrapper][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space][d_animation_wrapper enable_anim=”enable” anim_type=”fadeInUp” anim_distance=”Small” anim_duration=”1.5″ anim_delay=”0.7″][d_testimonial_cards testimonial=”The Rhetorical Profile<\/p>\n

This essay is a pedagogical companion piece to (Un)Wicked Analytical Frameworks and the Cry for Identity. The Rhetorical Profile is my named analytical framework that, in view of identity development in students, pushes against rigid and formulaic paradigms for structuring legal analysis. The Rhetorical Profile is best understood as a holistic platform to situate and give a name to the already existing questions student should consider at each stage of an analysis to engage consciously and confidently in critical legal analytical thinking.” author=”” company=”” image=”5489″][\/d_animation_wrapper][\/vc_column][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1586135626074{background-color: #f8f8f8 !important;}”][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”round” color=”white” spacing=”10″ gap=”10″ c_align=”center” c_icon=”triangle” active_section=”10″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true” title=”What I’m Reading…If You Care” el_id=”accordian”][vc_tta_section title=”Hardback Books” tab_id=”1577396035612-99e6d028-ca57″ el_class=”hardback”][vc_column_text]Toni Morrison, The Source of Self-Regard (2019)<\/p>\n
