About Luaskya Nonon

Luaskya's background is a unique blend of firsts and pioneering roles, both in her family and professional life. Being the eldest child and a first-generation American in a Panamanian family, she grew up balancing the high expectations of achieving success in the U.S. while honoring her Afro-Latina heritage. This experience of living between two cultures has given her a deep understanding of the complexities of identity and belonging.

In her career as an attorney, Luaskya often found herself as the only woman, the only Black person, or the only Latina in corporate settings. These experiences have not only tested her resilience but also sharpened her focus on creating more inclusive environments.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Luaskya's roots remain deeply embedded in the city. Her educational journey took her from earning a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Spanish at New York University to completing her law degree at the University of North Carolina School of Law. This educational journey, along with her years of experience as an employment lawyer, has equipped her with a diverse toolkit of skills and perspectives, enabling her to champion diversity, equity, and inclusion with both passion and expertise.
