The Sports Network shared a tale of inspiration as Theo Johnson, a prospect in the National Football League draft, drew encouragement from the journey of his mother Amy Johnson (JD 2015) through law school at the University of Windsor.

A TSN feature on the story of her transformation from a single mother of six navigating through adversity to ultimately earning her law degree resonated with viewers nationwide.

When Amy Johnson and her six children found themselves in an unsafe family situation, they were compelled to seek safety elsewhere. It was this pivotal moment that set the stage for her ascent in the legal field, altering the course of her career and, significantly, her family’s future.

The NFL draft continues in Detroit through Saturday. Watch the video, “Lawyer mom inspires NFL dream.”
