What We Do

Creating Pathways that Last
Our programs are designed to meet women where they are and move them toward the futures they envision.

Mentorship Program

A year-round initiative that includes one-on-one mentor experiences, speaker events, panels, and other professional development opportunities.

Each element is designed to build skills, expand networks, and create lasting career pathways.

Tea Talk Events

Conversations that create space for honest dialogue about race, gender, and professional life. Our flagship Legal Tea Talk takes place each fall and centers girls and women entering the legal profession, offering both insight and connection from women who have navigated the field.

Internship Placements

Paid opportunities with local businesses, nonprofits, and corporations, paired with intentional mentorship that supports both professional growth and personal development.

“I used my scholarship to pay for my summer tuition while in undergrad. Those courses were the last I needed to graduate. Without DiversiTea’s support, I may not have finished on time.”

About Us

After six years of hosting Tea Talk events, we formalized our organization in 2019 by securing 501(c)(3) status. That same year, we began hosting our flagship Legal Tea Talk as an annual event. From 2019 through 2024, we welcomed young women on a first come, first served basis to our annual gathering and other professional development activities held throughout the year.

In response to growing interest from mentees, we deepened our investment in 2025 by forming our first dedicated cohort. This inaugural group of 23 young women in legal fields received intentional one-on-one mentorship, access to cultural activities, and targeted professional development. Many members of this first cohort had previously participated in the Legal Tea Talk.

Our 2024 Legal Tea Talk was a turning point, awarding three $1,000 scholarships and directly placing three participants into internships. Those participants became part of our first full-year mentorship cohort in 2025.

Since 2020, DiversiTea Divas has:

Engaged more than 1,000 young professionals through mentorship, internships, and Tea Talks
Awarded more than $10,000 in scholarships
Invested in over an average of four to six paid, meaningful internship placements per year
