Glamour Magazine Mom of the Year – Lynda Limón
Glamour magazine’s 2024 “Your Mom of the Year” is Lynda Limón, an AAML attorney in Anchorage, Alaska. You can learn more about Limón in the Glamour article here: https://www.glamour.com/story/your-mom-of-the-year
Limón is an attorney who raised two daughters. She’s known for setting goals and completing them, such as competing in triathlons, going back to night school, and running an ultramarathon.
“She just gives fearless.” This is DuPree Walker’s assessment of her mom Lynda Limón, 58, and one of the many reasons she knew Limón deserved to be Glamour’s first-ever ‘Your Mom of the Year.’ “She’s not afraid of challenges, of trying new things, of exploring life,” says Walker, 25. “She’s going to go out, she’s going to do it, she’s going to get what she wants. And it’s really inspiring to see.”. If Limón’s success as a mom could be boiled down to soundbites—actionable takeaways from ‘Your Mom of the Year’ that we might all benefit from—they would be to lean on community, prioritize self-care, and act with intention.
In addition to her job as a mom, Limón has a full caseload—which often feels like a personal crusade on behalf of her clients. “I do divorces, so [my clients] are navigating a very difficult time fighting over money and kids. It’s so much more than a case to me. It’s people’s lives and more importantly, people’s children,” Limón told Glamour. She’s spent 30 years focusing her attention and energy on helping families in her community make it to the other side of these challenges. “I know I can help people with the work that I do so that they can continue to raise really healthy, successful children.” If you have been to the AAML Conference in Chicago, you have probably met Limón, and experienced her inspiring personality and enthusiasm for family law.
