anyssa montez barbosa, esq.

Hi, I’m Anyssa, a Texas-raised attorney, former student-athlete, and storyteller passionate about expanding access through law, education, and sport.

This site is home to Adelante — a word meaning forward — and a space where I share stories, legal insight, and resources rooted in advocacy, access, and becoming.

the adelante blog

Personal essays and reflections on identity, growth, public service, advocacy, and the journey of becoming.

the adelante briefs

Plain-language case summaries and legal updates impacting children, women, and marginalized communities.

adelante sports

Resources for athletes and families navigating recruiting, eligibility, college access, and life beyond the game.

ThE HEART OF IT

Adelante is about moving forward with purpose — telling honest stories, making complex systems easier to understand, and creating access for the communities too often left out of the conversation.
