First Gen on a Budget — Surviving Law School Without Generational Wealth

Welcome Back, First Gen Law!

Being the first in your family to attend law school is already a heavy lift — add in the weight of financial strain, and the journey can feel nearly impossible. In this solo episode, Onnaedo dives deep into what it really means to navigate law school and the legal profession on a tight budget.

From applying to law school without a financial safety net to bar prep expenses no one warns you about, she shares personal strategies, affordable hacks, and hard-earned lessons. Plus, she unpacks how recent legislation has made it even harder for first-gen students to fund their legal education — and why this is also a moment to tap into our resourcefulness and collective power.

💡 Whether you're a law student, a new grad, or still considering the leap, this episode is packed with practical wisdom and honest encouragement for every first-gen hustling without generational wealth.
