Francine (Foggy) Nelson

Foggy Nelson’s life is a thing of Lifetime movies. Blinded as a child while saving someone else from being hit by a truck, then kidnapped for several years? She could’ve survived the rest of her life just by selling the rights to her story for an actual Lifetime film. Instead, she did a few interviews to sock some money away for college and years of extensive therapy and faded back into semi-obscurity. Worked hard, got into law school, opened a law firm with her best friend from college. Now, they save Hell’s Kitchen by taking on low-income clients and pro bono cases to represent people who need a voice in the justice system but don’t know how to speak for themselves. It’s inspiring.

It’s a lie. (It’s true.) (It’s complicated.)
