Kayla Price

Kayla Price is a third-year student at the University of Texas at Austin, double-majoring in Advertising and African and African Diaspora Studies while pursuing a minor in Business and Public Policy. Passionate about breaking down barriers to equity, education, and equality, she has pursued experiences that have given her the opportunity to learn about legislation and public policy. Two of these experiences include her previous work as part of Ellwanger Henderson LLLP, a civil rights law firm, and as a legislative intern for Senator Judith Zaffirini during the 89th legislative session. Through these roles, she gained more insight into how laws are enacted and exercised within communities, furthering her understanding of how to create actionable solutions for issue areas she is passionate about, including social justice, educational justice, and racial justice. On campus, Kayla serves as President of the Black Student Alliance and Professional Development Co-Director for the university’s pre-law chapter of the National Black Law Students Association. She is also a member of the Epsilon Beta Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, and has written for the Undergraduate Law Journal for Minority Women. Through her campus involvement, she aims to strengthen communities and build accessibility within education. She plans to continue this work and more following her undergraduate journey as she pursues her career in law, fighting for human and civil rights.
