25 WOMEN TO WATCH
Angela M. Eaves
associate judge of the Court of Appeals,
Harford and Baltimore counties
Judge Angela M. Eaves acknowledges her groundbreaking appointment as the first Afro-Latina to the Court of Appeals, but at her core, she
contends she’s like everyone else. “Everybody wants the same thing at the
end of the day. You want to have a safe and protective environment for
your family, and you want to enjoy all there is that’s good in life,” she said.
While decades of “hearing cases that impact people’s lives,” prepared her
to sit on the court as a judge representing Harford and Baltimore counties,
so did Eaves’ experience living throughout the U.S. and abroad. “Regardless of where I’ve lived,” Eaves said, “I recognize that there are very few
things that make us different from each other and more things that bring
us together, and I think that makes me ideal for the court.”

Gigi Kwik Gronvall
senior scholar, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of
Public Health’s Center for Health Security
After posting on Facebook about a COVID-19 vaccine clinic, Gigi
Gronvall added: “Happy to answer any questions.” The Johns Hopkins
immunologist says it’s part of her mission. Throughout the pandemic,
Gronvall has served on national scientific panels, published studies
and advised Baltimore City schools — delivering the facts to policymakers and the public. “It’s what I’ve been training for,” she said. “I
have to leave it all on the field.” When she’s not saving lives, Gronvall
can be found playing horn in the Baltimore Ravens marching band and
photographing her son’s soccer games.
