Mike Parson looks on as the newest member of the Missouri Supreme Court, Judge Robin Ransom, addresses the media after being introduced by Parson during a press conference, May 24, 2021, at his Capitol office in Jefferson City, Mo.

"I've always just been very comfortable in my skin," Ransom said. “I like to tell people: ‘When I walk into a room, it's very apparent that I'm a Black female. We don't have to talk about it. But I'm also very comfortable talking about it if you want to talk about it.’”She said her father's efforts to integrate her life with people who didn’t look like her meant she had no choice but to get comfortable in her own skin.
