We are an offshoot of the Above the Law legal blog. But we are focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Let's be real -- it can suck out there. So we want to create a space where our community can come together share stories, find support and devise strategies. Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wears when delivering dissents from the bench. It's a reminder that --even when we aren't winning, we're still a powerful force to be reckoned with.

The Mash-Up Americans is your guide to hyphen-America. We're rooted in tradition, looking to the future, and creating culture each day we live it. Since 2013, we've been helping our community navigate the complexities of mash-up identity as we cross multiple borders, ask all of the awkward questions, and figure out for ourselves what it means to live expansive, authentic, impactful lives where we bring our whole selves to the table every time. In nearly a decade of doing this work we've learned Mash-Ups are at the leading edge of culture, whether it’s in what they’re doing or how they’re doing it — so if you want to know who the thinkers and leaders are of the future, let us tell you.
