Well-Being for Law Students of Color – Books from Our Wellness Collection

Posted on Posted in Law Student News Tagged with

Law school can be an inspiring journey, but for many students of color it also comes with unique pressures, isolating experiences, and expectations that aren’t always acknowledged in mainstream wellness conversations. This curated collection of wellness books centers the voices, stories, and needs of people of color, offering guidance that reflects your lived experience rather than asking you to fit into someone else’s mold. Whether you’re navigating stress, building community, caring for your mental health, or simply looking for grounding practices that honor your identity, these titles are here to remind you that your well-being matters—and that you deserve spaces, tools, and narratives that fully see and support you throughout your law school path.
