Single Mom Turned Lawyer Uses Social Media to Empower Moms Across the Country

HOUSTON– “My high potential was born the day I became a single mother,” says lawyer Gianni Avalos.

In 2021, Avalos posted her first TikTok video showing the moment she found out she had passed the bar exam. Since then, she has amassed over 165,000 loyal followers by sharing how she balances her personal life as a single mother and her demanding career as a lawyer.

Becoming a lawyer was Avalos’ lifelong dream. When she decided to seriously pursue a career in law, she offered to work for free at various law firms in her small town of Granbury, Texas. From there, she worked her way up to become a paralegal and then entered law school.

Avalos discovered she was pregnant during her senior year of law school and still remembers the struggles of studying for the bar exam while caring for her newborn son. But looking back, Avalos says being a single mother has become one of her greatest strengths.

“I always say if you want something done, you outsource it to a single mom because we’re so good at juggling. Anything you put on our to-do list, we’re going to figure out how to do it, with or without our children next to us.

Avalos now has her own family law firm, Avalos Family Trial Attorneys, to advocate for other single mothers navigating the legal system. Like Morgan Gillory on ABC’s “High Potential,” Avalos hopes she can inspire other moms to strive for their highest potential and remind them of how much they can accomplish.

“I think ‘High Potential’ is beyond entertainment; it’s an inspiration for single mothers who watch the show,” Avalos says of the series, “because they’re watching a personality to which they can relate to.”

Watch new episodes of “High Potential” Tuesdays at 9/8c on ABC and stream on Hulu.

Disney is the parent company of ABC and this station.
