Brooklyn Bar Association president
elect shares secrets to her success
By Schneps Media
Natoya McGhie, president elect of the
Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association, said
that her life was forever changed by a strong,
female mentor.
This week on the Power Women podcast,
McGhie told host Victoria Schneps about the
impact that interning for Judge Nancy Bannon,
who is now a Supreme Court justice in
Manhattan Civil Court, had on her career.
McGhie told Schneps how her experience
working with Bannon in a one-on-one
setting for a summer opened up her world.
When she and Bannon would discuss the trials
that the judge was conducting, McGhie
described how it meaningful it was that an
experienced judge trusted her opinion.
Growing up in Ocho Rios, Jamaica,
McGhie said that Powershe was always interested
in law enforcement.
When she was 14, she moved
with her mother and sister
to Brooklyn, enrolling in
Canarsie High School, then
John Jay College.
She met Judge Bannon in
law school during a precarious
time in her life Working
at a bank, and attending law
school classes at the New
York Law School, McGhie said she wasn’t
getting grades that would allow her to participate
in career-advancing activities like
law review moot court. Her relationship
with Bannon built up her confidence.
When she began working at Legal Aid
Society after law school,
Bannon asked her to join the
board of the Brooklyn Women’s
Bar Association. This
past year she co-chaired the
mentor committee to pay
her mentor experience forward
by connecting eight
mentors and mentees.
“Power Women” is a
podcast devoted to sharing
women’s secrets to professional success.
