💄 Happy National Lipstick Day!

A lipstick is more than a beauty product—it is often a symbol of confidence, resilience, and self-expression.

At Teranga Law, we believe that confidence is one of the strongest assets anyone can bring into a courtroom, a boardroom, or a negotiation.

Today, we celebrate every woman who leads with courage, speaks with conviction, and leaves a lasting impact.

Confidence is your best statement.

AI for nonprofits — the gains are real. So are the risks.

Nonprofit teams are stretched. AI can give a grant writer back five hours, a development director two more donor calls a week, a small ED a draft of the policy memo she would not otherwise write. Those gains are real.

The risks are too — and they fall in three buckets.

(1) Donor confidentiality. Putting donor names, gift amounts, or family details into a public AI tool can violate donor expectations and, in some states, donor-record privacy obligations.

(2) UBIT and operational scope. An AI-generated product or service the nonprofit sells may trigger unrelated business income tax — the rule does not change because the production cost went down.

(3) Mission drift. AI lowers the cost of doing things that look like the mission but are not — and a board has to be the one to notice.

Use the gains. Plan for the risks. DM us if you want a walk-through.

Faraid and New York law — the elective share question.

New York gives a surviving spouse the right to claim the greater of $50,000 or one-third of the net estate. It is called the ""elective share."" It applies regardless of what your will says.

If a Faraid distribution gives a surviving spouse less than the elective share, the spouse can override the will. This is a critical conflict point between Faraid and US law that must be planned for in advance — not after.

The good news: with the right combination of lifetime gifts, beneficiary designations, and trust structures, this gap can often be bridged without dishonoring either tradition. The bad news: nobody finds this out at the wrong time except the family that did not plan.

If you are a Muslim family in New York, this is exactly the kind of conversation we are here for. Free consult — comment or DM.

Engaging with Teranga Law means joining a community.

What ultimately distinguishes Teranga Law is not just what we do, but how and why we do it.

Every interaction is infused with the spirit of Teranga — that uniquely Senegalese concept that combines hospitality, generosity, and shared humanity into a philosophy of radical welcome.

When clients engage with us, they don't just hire attorneys. They join a community committed to collective success. Your victories become our celebrations. Your challenges become our missions. Your dreams become our driving force.

That is teranga in a law practice. Not marketing language. A working philosophy.

On-the-ground in Dakar. At home in New York.

The bicoastal nature of our practice provides advantages for cross-border matters that single-location firms simply cannot match.

Our New York presence positions us at the heart of international finance and philanthropy. Our Senegal presence gives us the on-the-ground insights and the relationships that no amount of international travel could replicate.

This dual presence lets us facilitate connections, verify local partners, navigate regulatory requirements, and build trust in ways one office in one city cannot.

We do this so families and organizations operating between continents are not asked to translate themselves into either system — but met fully in both.

If that describes your family or your mission, we would love to talk. Comment or DM for a free consult.
