Jovia Radix-Seaborough, SVP of corporate and legislation at Kasirer and president of the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association, has been honored as one of the Women of Influence for 2024 by Crain’s New York Business. This recognition highlights her impactful advocacy and leadership efforts aimed at supporting underrepresented groups within New York City.
Over the past five years at Kasirer, New York City’s leading lobbying firm, Radix-Seaborough’s relentless dedication has been crucial in driving positive change. Her work has not only benefited the women she mentors and the clients she represents but has also extended to the broader community. Her leadership was instrumental in the implementation of the city’s recent e-cigarette ban, showcasing her ability to influence significant policy decisions.
In addition to her corporate role, Radix-Seaborough actively contributes to the political sphere as vice president of the Thomas Jefferson Democratic Club Young Democrats, working tirelessly to enhance the quality of life for residents in southern Brooklyn. Her efforts in community and legal advocacy earned her the title of Thomas Jefferson Woman of the Year last year.
Following the footsteps of her mother, the first Black president of the Women’s Bar Association, Radix-Seaborough has embraced the same role with a commitment to amend the lack of diversity in the legal field. Her presidency at the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association is marked by her determination to keep the doors open for future generations of women of color seeking leadership roles in law.
The Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association will host its annual gala on Wednesday, May 15, at the Liberty Warehouse in Red Hook, where they will honor three, including Hon. Lillian Wan, Angelicque Moreno and Judith Livingston.
