Episode 5: Judge Kenneth Garrett III Black Men We Know
-
- Comedy Interviews
In this episode, I talk with another Black Nascar fan. But he's also a Judge for the Jackson County Circuit Court. Beyond explaining in plain English what exactly he does as a judge (can't we all use a refresher?), we chat about his path to this position and what he tries to do with it, both on and off the bench. We explore his challenges in making it to college, let alone law school and his experiences as one of a tiny number of Black men and women in law school and, and of even fewer Black judges. The judge also describes his work with an innovative program that gives hope and second chances to defendants with drug charges and another one that motivated urban teens to just showing up to class. This was fun, inspiring, and informative for me, and I know it will be for you to. So join us.
