<p>Alvin Adjei joins Femi and Patrick one more time on the Hylights podcast, now as Immediate Past President, to finish a conversation they started the last time he was on: sharing their thoughts on Spider-Man: No Way Home. This episode is exactly what it sounds like and has little to do with the law--and there are spoilers for the movie if you haven't seen it yet! We hope you join us and enjoy the ride on this just-for-fun episode, as we soft-pilot our hopes for a HYLA Movie Podcast. </p>

<p>Anna DeMaggio is a foreign-trained lawyer with a background in international studies and she joins us on Hylights to give her perspective on the ongoing war in Ukraine. Anna is from Ukraine but came to the United States over 10 years ago to do an LLM. She has lived in Houston for many years, currently working as counsel at Orion Group Holdings, Inc.</p> <p>Despite being born in Ukraine when it was part of the USSR, growing up there after the end of the Cold War, and going to law school at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, not even Anna expected a war like this to ever take place. Nevertheless, Anna is uniquely positioned to give us insight into the changes the country has undergone since the end of the Cold War, as well as into the war, discussing its historical context and its import on international law and policy.<br> <br> In addition to now being a voice for the Ukrainian community in Houston, at Orion Group Holdings, Anna works with the project teams, operations, and management on contracting, compliance and claims prevention, management, and defense for the company’s concrete segment, TAS Concrete Construction, LLC. Anna has also been involved in various community activities, including HYLA’s Professional Development Committee, the Houston Bar Association, Chicago Women’s Alliance, and a number of pro bono efforts pertaining to immigration.</p> <p>The Hylights Podcast is brought to you by the Houston Young Lawyers Association!

<p>Many litigators would agree with the notion that presenting a case before a jury and judge can feel like an emphatic performance, but few have truly performed in the way that Zachary Caballero has. Zachary has a personal injury practice where he advocates and fights on behalf of injured Texans and families due to the negligence of others. In addition to being a lawyer, Zachary is also a nationally recognized, award-winning poet. Zachary was featured on Huff Post Latino Voices, as one of the Top 10 Spoken Word Poets who Speak to Diverse Latino Issues and in the Texas Bar Journal for his story as a poet and lawyer. Join Patrick and Femi as they talk to Zachary about his poetic origins in middle school, discovering that he not only was able to tell a story – but that he had a story – and how this passion came to be his greatest asset in his legal practice. We also discuss Zachary’s involvement in the legal community, which include having held board positions on HYLF and HYLA and co-founding the Stories of First Generation Attorneys Podcast.</p> <p>You can view one of Zachary’s poems, “Reasons to Live,” at <a href="https://cabbythepoet.com/2020/04/02/1-30-reasons-to-live/" target="_blank">https://cabbythepoet.com/2020/04/02/1-30-reasons-to-live/</a>, and can view other works from Zachary at <a href="http://cabbythepoet.com/" target="_blank">cabbythepoet.com</a>.</p> <p>Listen to the Stories of First Generation Attorneys Podcast here: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/2p96myv7" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/2p96myv7</a>.<br> <br> The Hylights Podcast is brought to you by the Houston Young Lawyers Association!
