Guided by her parents, whose own stories influenced her, and who helped her navigate the obstacles she might face as a Black child, Ketanji's spirit, drive, and belief in herself blossomed. She was popular in school and excelled in academics, debate, and theater, but it wasn't always smooth sailing. Over the decades, she'd run up against a backdrop of people and Supreme Court rulings that sometimes opened doors for her . . . and sometimes shut them.
