Melissa Dabar: A Nurse’s Journey to Becoming a Lawyer

Prescription for Justice: A Nurse’s Journey to Becoming a Lawyer.  My guest this week is Ms. Melissa Dabar, A Lawyer for the People. “Tough times never last, but tough people do.” ~ R. Schuller This week’s guest is a great example of someone that encompasses the American Dream.  Ms. Dabar came from a small town in Arkansas where everyone knew everyone’s business.  In addition to the small population Ms. Dabar also grew up during a time and place where girls were not considered to be capable of doing much and their place was in the house.  This was so much the case that her parents even suggested that she drop out of high school because she really didn’t need it. Well, Melissa did not subscribe to these lowered expectations.  In fact, if anything, this only fueled her desire to reach for something more.  It was when she witnessed her grandmother receive great care from her nurses that inspired her to become a nurse herself when she finished high school. Later in her life after she had gotten married she found herself suddenly in an abusive relationship.  As the years went by and she came to terms that her marriage was toxic and unhealthy, she decided to make another incredible life change.  The inspiration for her next move was very unconventional, but definitely a show of true faith.  After having a dream that she was supposed to be representing the underserved community she took the leap and went to law school.  Her “can do” attitude will certainly inspire you and leave you feeling anything can be possible. In addition to Ms. Dabar’s many accomplishments she now produces an amazing podcast called, “American Fight Stories”, where she highlights Americans that have overcome incredible adversity and refused to give up when other’s might have thrown in the towel.  You can find her podcast on Spotify and other podcast platforms and you can find her law firm at “Dabar Law Firm”.
