Welcome to a brand new episode of the ¿Quién Tú Eres? podcast, where we explore the conflict we often face between "professionalism" & being our authentic selves. This week's guest is Janelle J. Romero. 

After graduating from the 2-year Honors Program at New York Law School, Janelle began her career defending employees who were illegally underpaid by their employers. While she thoroughly enjoyed her work and the clients she served (mostly undocumented immigrants), she sought to expand her knowledge within employment law and began working for a firm that specialized in workplace discrimination and sexual harassment claims. As someone who had personally experienced sexual harassment and stalking while in law school, Janelle took a personal interest in representing workers who had faced similar experiences in the workplace with little to no protections afforded to them. Hundreds of represented employees later, Janelle joined a hiring and payroll startup as the Leader of Labor Affairs and oversaw legal matters relating to labor and employment law, business contracts, and general counseling work as needed.

Janelle founded Gen Esq Law to provide quality affordable legal options to small businesses and employees. Through her TikTok educational videos, Janelle continues to dedicate her time and talents to helping make the workplace a more fair, appropriate, and prosperous environment for all.

In this week’s episode, Janelle tells all about her life as a Latina in law and how she found herself opening her own practice. As a kid, her father instilled a lot of confidence in herself and her actions. Today she uses the same confidence she’s learned to feel comfortable in every room she’s in and win her cases. She uses TikTok to spread awareness about NYC labor and discrimination laws and is currently accepting clients. Listen to this episode to hear all about her incredible journey to becoming a founder and a viral sensation.
