But look at community. A panel for Black men on our mental health, connecting with each other and removing the mask we put on to protect ourselves! Most importantly, they LOVED IT. One of the most senior Black male partners in the City came up to me enthralled after. Wow. #BCF24
So there are 161,623 practising solicitors in England and Wales. Black solicitors make up 4,849 of that number. Asian solicitors make up 19,395 of that number. I heard that supposedly 1% of solicitors are of Caribbean heritage, so I’m even 1 of 1,616. That’s very, very mad.

Nah we really laughed, spoke honestly and openly. All truths about balancing the very real demands of professional services with life. “You can be a good lawyer, a good father and a good husband. But you cannot be great at all three in the same day.” #BCF24
