Tracey Mason is a ninth generation Gwinnettian and a Gwinnett County Superior Court judge.
Denise Rumbaugh: Is there any particular woman or are there women in history you admire? What do you admire about her or them?
Tracey Mason: Of course, the woman I admire the most is my mother who loved me unconditionally and devoted her life to my and my sisters’ well-being. Professionally, I admire and appreciate Melodie Snell Conner for paving the path for me and other women to become judges in Gwinnett. I especially admire her because we had grown up in Gwinnett, were a product of a community where women had never been expected to serve in such a vital role in the courts, especially while raising children, and she did it anyway.
DR: What advice would you share with women and girls on working to achieve their goals and dreams?
TM: Women have made great strides so that we have more choices now than we have ever had. I would encourage women to support other women whatever choice a fellow woman makes: whether a woman wants to stay home to raise a family, be married or not married, work in business, or work as a public servant. Then to continue the strides women have made, I would advise each woman to do her best work one day at a time, to treat each person fairly and with kindness, and to take care of herself in order to do it all!
