"Today, I was sworn in to the Tennessee Bar by my mentor, Judge Dinkins, who has helped and guided me into my legal career, and my baby boy Beckham, who motivates me to keep going every day and has been with me during half of my law school 'experience,'" Lamar wrote.

"Thank you to my husband for being there during all the late nights, all the suits you've ironed, coffee you've bought to keep me awake, and taking my laptop to force me to go to sleep," she continued. "Thank you to my mom, for believing in me, knowing my potential, and (trying) to make me not be so hard on myself. Thank you all for your love and support."
