Farewell Address From Immediate Past Chair Onika Williams

Thank you for the opportunity to serve as the 2020-21 NBA YLD Chair. I know this bar year has been unprecedented; however, we found a way to use our difficult circumstances to creatively connect with young black attorneys and help communities across the country in a pandemic.

It has been a highlight of my legal career and an opportunity of a lifetime to be able to serve in this role. Special thanks to the 2020-21 NBA YLD Board who tirelessly worked to curate informative and innovative programming, to the Past NBA Presidents and Past YLD Chairs who mentored us and encouraged us, and to Immediate Past President CK Hoffler and Founding YLD Chair and Past President Junius W. Williams for always championing YLD!

Because of your support, NBA YLD was named 2020-21 Division of the Year! To see a recap of the NBA YLD bar year, please make sure to check out the 2020-21 NBA YLD Year-in-Review and the 33rd Annual Junius W. Williams Awards!

Monette M. Davis

Stone Pigman Walther Wittmann L.L.C. New Orleans, Louisiana

Monette M. Davis is an associate attorney at Stone Pigman Walther Wittmann L.L.C. in New Orleans, Louisiana, and is a New Orleans native. She currently assist clients with fiduciary litigation, insurance defense, and family law matters. Monette joined Stone Pigman in 2019 and serves as a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association, New Orleans Bar Association, the New Orleans Chapter Federal Bar Association, and GNO Louis A. Martinet Legal Society.

Monette attended Dillard University where she received her Bachelor’s degree in Sociology/Criminal Justice in May 2013, and attended Southern University Law Center where she received her Juris Doctor degree in May 2019. She was inspired to become an attorney by her father when she was a teenager. However, when her oldest sister was murdered in New Orleans in 2011 as a result of domestic violence, her desire for the legal profession increased. With this travesty, Monette’s continuous aspiration is to be a change in Louisiana and provide a space
where people can rely and believe that they won’t be failed by the justice system.

Congratulations, Monette M. Davis
