“We need more of us in this space… and we need that expertise and skills from these minority lawyers.”

Navan Ward, Jr., President of Shades of Mass, has experienced firsthand what it means to be one of the very few minority attorneys at the leadership table.

His message is clear: representation in MDL leadership matters.

Shades of Mass was built to create opportunities, connections, and a community where attorneys of color can learn, lead, and help shape the future of mass tort litigation.

This October, be in the room with Navan and the attorneys, judges, and legal professionals to gain insight, make connections, and see the value of representation in MDL leadership.

Meet the leaders. Share the room. Grow your network

“People of color are still underrepresented in the legal profession overall, and especially in first-tier litigation leadership positions.”

Diandra “Fu” Debrosse is committed to addressing this underrepresentation.

As a Co-Founder and Past President of Shades of Mass and as a trailblazer in MDL leadership, Fu brings a perspective grounded in both experience and a vision for what comes next.

SOM2026 provides an opportunity to learn from attorneys who have broken barriers and are expanding opportunities for future legal leaders.
