Our Honorable Justice
Sonia Sotomayor's recent confirmation to the highest court in the land was not only a resounding personal achievement, but an example for Latinas everywhere. Sotomayor's personal story has served to inspire women, young and old, to follow their dreams no matter what the circumstance. Her dedication, perseverance and the obvious importance she places on education will shine like a beacon throughout her Supreme Court appointment.

We're all proud to be Wise Latinas.
