70. Becoming the Tiger: Twila White on Power, Presence, and the Fight for Justice
"Power has to be seized—because we already have it. It’s not outside of us. The ‘big’ isn’t out there. The ‘big’ is inside." — Twila White
Twila White dismantles injustice with precision, presence, and purpose.
With nearly 25 years of courtroom experience, Twila White has helped shape the law itself—winning multimillion-dollar verdicts and establishing legal precedent that expanded protections for women and workers. In this episode of LawHer, she shares hard-won lessons from jury trials, moments of spiritual guidance from her grandmother, and the pivotal case that helped establish #MeToo evidence in California courts.
This is a story of a woman who trained herself not just to speak, but to be heard. Who chose storytelling over silence. Who faced down broken systems and kept going—even when the odds were stacked, and the rules were rigged.
Twila’s voice is unshakable. Her presence in the courtroom is unforgettable. And her message is clear: power doesn’t wait to be handed over—it’s claimed, one bold decision at a time.
Twila S. White is a seasoned employment attorney and founder of TerminationLawyer.com, where she represents workers facing discrimination, retaliation, and harassment. Her track record includes landmark verdicts, including some of California’s earliest #MeToo cases. A graduate of the Gerry Spence Trial College, Twila brings old-school storytelling into modern litigation—and she’s as committed to mentoring women lawyers as she is to winning justice for her clients.
