Does our self-perception match the perceptions others have of us? Paula Boggs has a long list of former titles and experiences: Army Airborne (paratrooper) veteran, Starbucks executive, law firm partner, federal prosecutor, to name a few. But who is she? She’s the leader of the Seattle-Brewed Soulgrass band, for one. Does that change your perception of her? Boggs takes you on her personal journey of self-discovery.

Paula Boggs is one of our nation’s first women to receive an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy.
Paula was appointed by President Obama to the President’s Committee for the Arts and the Humanities and White House Council for Community Solutions. She has served twenty-plus years in the American Bar Association’s (ABA) House of Delegates, and is now also on its Board of Governors. After serving 18 years as a Johns Hopkins University Trustee, Boggs is now a Trustee Emerita.
