Attorney Fanon Rucker Thank you so much. It's an honor to be here, so grateful for the invitation to have a conversation with you, and I truly am honored to be here. Victory Envue The topic of this feature is Holiness in Human Hands and what that looks like. Because of your platform, because of where you stand in our community, you can't go anywhere in Cincinnati without being recognized. I think the reason I wanted to interview you is because I saw your big old face on the side of a bus, and I was like, is that a sign, Lord, that I should interview Fanon Rucker? Attorney Fanon Rucker They didn’t get rid of my freckles you can see them dot by dot on that bus ad. They light up at night, and glow in the dark.
Victory Envue So those dots were not painted on? Okay. Look, tell me how long have you been doing what you've been doing right here? And then we'll go back, we'll do your back story. Tell me how long you've been an attorney. Attorney Fanon Rucker So, I started practicing law in 1996. I gradu- ated from Hampton University in ‘93 and then the University of Cincinnati College of Law in ’96 So going on 27 years in a couple of months, well, in October, it'll be 27 years. I've been a prosecutor, civil rights lawyer, and a law director. I've been a civil rights employment discrimination litigator. I was a judge for more of my career than I was any- thing else in my career. Now I'm managing attorney and filing lawsuits all the time.
