On this day of remembrance, Dean Felecia Epps — former U.S. Marine Corps Major and current Dean of UNT Dallas College of Law — shares her extraordinary journey. From breaking barriers as one of the few Black women Majors in the Marines to leading in legal education, Dean Epps offers insights on resilience, justice, and the transformative impact of AI on law.

Former U.S. Marine Corps Major and current UNT Dallas Law Dean Felecia Epps discusses breaking barriers, AI's impact on justice, and leadership across military and legal fields. This is the story of a Black woman who broke barriers in the Marines and is now shaping the future of legal education.
Dean Felecia Epps' journey is unlike any other. As one of the few Black women to reach the rank of Major in the U.S. Marine Corps, she navigated a system not built for her.

She doesn't offer easy answers—she offers hard-earned wisdom.
