Fall vibes and a throwback to last year when we somehow stayed on theme without even planning it.

Kim Possible, SWAT & Velma from Scooby-Doo.

And somehow, every character reflected a little of what we do in real life:

Advocating for others.
Laying down the law.
Investigating.
Finding answers.
Solving problems.
And getting things DONE.

Maybe the costumes weren’t random after all.

Different characters. Same energy: protect, advocate, investigate & find a solution.

Today, as part of our Future Legal Leaders Program, two of our students from Monroe University and Hostos Community College participated in an interactive investigations session led by our community partner, We Are Detectives.

The session introduced students to investigative techniques, critical thinking, observation, fact gathering, and the important role investigations can play within the legal profession.

Future Legal Leaders is about giving students more than classroom knowledge — it is about providing real-world exposure, mentorship, hands-on learning, and access to professionals across the legal and investigative fields.

A special thank you to We Are Detectives for investing their time and expertise into our future legal professionals.

There’s something magical about Batman making a surprise appearance in the Bronx — the very borough where the character was created.

Yesterday, We Are Detectives, Inc wearedetectivesinc hosted its 2nd Annual Batman Day, bringing families together for a day filled with imagination, learning, movement, and community.

Founded by a Bronx native and longtime Batman fan, We Are Detectives, Inc., uses the world of the superhero to help children and families discover the real-life detective skills we use every day: critical thinking, observation, problem-solving, teamwork, curiosity, and confidence.

From hands-on activities to Bat-Fit Camp, families had the opportunity to bring those skills to life while embracing the history, culture, and extraordinary works of Edgar Allan Poe right here in the Bronx.

We were proud to partner with incredible organizations, community partners, and volunteers who helped make the day such a fun and successful experience. And one of the best parts? Seeing adults dressed up, smiling, participating, and bringing out their own inner kid alongside their children.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped create such a special day.

Follow wearedetectivesinc and stay tuned — next year’s Batman Day will be even bigger, better, and full of surprises for families!

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we proudly celebrate our culture, our roots, and the strength of the Latino community.

As Latina women in business, we are proud to use our experience, our voices, and our work to serve and uplift the communities that helped shape us.

For us, representation means more than being present—it means opening doors, creating opportunities, educating our families, and making sure our community has access to the resources and support it deserves.

We honor those who came before us, celebrate those making a difference today, and continue working to inspire the next generation of Latino leaders.

Our heritage is our strength. Our community is our purpose.❤️

Durante el Mes de la Herencia Hispana, celebramos con orgullo nuestra cultura, nuestras raíces y la fortaleza de nuestra comunidad latina.

Como mujeres latinas en los negocios, nos sentimos orgullosas de utilizar nuestra experiencia, nuestras voces y nuestro trabajo para servir y fortalecer a las comunidades que nos han ayudado a llegar hasta aquí. Para nosotras, la representación significa mucho más que estar presentes: significa abrir puertas, crear oportunidades, educar a nuestras familias y asegurar que nuestra comunidad tenga acceso a los recursos y al apoyo que merece.

Honramos a quienes abrieron el camino antes que nosotras, celebramos a quienes hoy están haciendo la diferencia y continuamos trabajando para inspirar a la próxima generación de líderes latinos.

Nuestra herencia es nuestra fortaleza. Nuestra comunidad es nuestro propósito.❤️

Last week, I had the opportunity to attend Wilby Betty’s NY Summit. Thank you to CaseLab for the invitation and for bringing together such an insightful event.

We learned a great deal, especially about the PI sector, which is particularly meaningful given our President’s background in the field. It was a valuable experience filled with learning, meaningful networking, and reconnecting with familiar faces.

Looking forward to applying these insights and continuing the conversations started at the summit.
