During yesterday’s opening statement, the judge shared more details about herself, such as her upbringing, schooling and interest in law. Her explanation of her name, ‘Ketanji Onyika,’ struck an especial chord.

“When I was born here in Washington, my parents were public school teachers, and to express both pride in their heritage and hope for the future, they gave me an African name; ‘Ketanji Onyika,’ which they were told means ‘lovely one,’ she said. “My parents taught me that, unlike the many barriers that they had had to face growing up, my path was clearer, such that if I worked hard and believed in myself, in America I could do anything or be anything I wanted to be.”
