Ieshia N. Champs is a graduate of Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University. She is a single mother of five wonderful children and the first person in her family to pursue a graduate degree.

Before matriculating into law school, she received her undergraduate degree at the University of Houston-Downtown, majoring in Business Applied Administration.

While in law school she remained in the top 15% of her class and graduated Magna Cum Laude in May 2018. Ieshia was licensed as an attorney by the State of Texas in November of 2018 after successfully passing the bar exam. Ieshia was recently appointed as an Assistant County Attorney where she works in the Children Protective Services Division. Ieshia inspires to one day become a district judge in Harris County, Texas, and become a role model for all young women and men who may face challenges that appear impossible to overcome.

Ieshia N. Champs’ story of how she has overcome the odds has spread all over the world, beginning with the local news media in Houston, Texas.
