Deep Sea Chic - Caren Lock

Welcome to Counsel Brew! We don’t normally start with the triple SSS segment when describing a new episode, but Caren’s will leave you speechless. Resist the urge to skip to the end!Caren is the voice for those who can’t find their own or aren’t given the opportunity to have one. As a little girl, she defied all the constraints placed on young Asian girls and found her voice early in life, always pushing the boundaries. When Mrs. Wong told young Caren she should become a lawyer, intending it as an insult, Caren agreed it was the path she should follow and never looked back.Caren is the Regional VP and Associate General Counsel at TIAA, where she’s led the way in policy advocacy. She believes it’s a person’s moral imperative to open the door for others, to reach back and pull them up. She embodies this through her work with the Orchid Giving Circle and the Texas Women’s Foundation Board. And if that isn’t enough for you, she’s also on the advisory board for the Dallas Mavs, the State Bar of Texas liaison to the corporate counsel section, and more. Caren has been and continues to be a seeker of justice for her parents, women and children, clients, mentees, and even those she hasn’t met. Her badassery is limitless.Caren’s brew, you ask? She’s a fluffy latte kind of woman, and we may have convinced her to let go of her guilt about not having tried black coffee with butter.
