(AGENPARL) – HOUSTON ven 17 marzo 2023

Call it resilience … or faith. Maybe a combination of both.

“God has always been the reason why I do all of it,” she said, noting her time as an administrative intern for Houston Canterbury, the UH campus ministry of the Episcopal Church.

“Anyone can tell you that when I say I’m going to do something, I’m going to do it. I didn’t even know how I was going to get to college, but through the support I received at UH, I found my way. It’s easy to give up, but I’ve never been someone who wants something to be easy. If it’s easy, then it’s not significant,” said Little.

In 2022, Little accomplished another noteworthy milestone when she was appointed to the UH Student Government Association Supreme Court. As the senior associate justice, she’s second in command of the SGA’s Judiciary Branch, which hears matters involving the constitutionality of legislation, disputes between the branches and election issues.

“I’m completely honored to have been selected for this position, of course. But it’s definitely just a small step,” she said. “I don’t count my victories in titles or accomplishments. I count victories by the impact that I have on people.”

Her time in the SGA courtroom, along with her tenure as president of the Black Pre-Law Student Association, gave her the experience and confidence to tackle her next challenge. Little hopes to attend law school and impact even more lives as an attorney. She currently works as a law clerk at a personal injury firm conducting legal research.

“I have seen firsthand how the justice system impacts young men long after incarceration. So, I want to be an agent of justice,” she said.

“Whatever I do, I do it with all my heart.”
