Be a game-changer | Liz Huntley | TEDxBirmingham

Liz Huntley, a successful lawyer and children's advocate, didn't start out where you might expect. Born into abject poverty, she shares the story of how a game-changing teacher set her on the right path, and challenges us to see the opportunities for us to have a similar impact in others' lives.
An individual whose childhood was tainted by poverty and other challenges, Liz Huntley is a well-known child advocate in Alabama. She serves on several boards, and speaks to various audiences and challenges them to adopt her “no excuses” philosophy. She is an attorney with Lightfoot, Franklin & White who practices in the areas of Banking & Financial Services, Consumer Law, Business Litigation and Products Liability. She has clerked at both the state and federal levels, serves on DRI's Diversity for Success Seminar Committee, and is active in the Alabama State and Birmingham Bar Associations. She earned her undergraduate degree from Auburn University and her J.D. from the University of Alabama School of Law.
