Partner Diana Cortes spoke with AL DÍA about her childhood, education, and career path that led her to becoming Philadelphia’s first Latina city solicitor. Diana said her mother’s support and efforts to make sure Diana believed in herself played a big role in her success. Diana said she wants to empower others to have that same level of confidence.
“Be brave and have faith in yourself,” Diana said, “and don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do anything.”
