Why law, why you? Podcast

“Why law, why you?” is a new project that aims to put representation at the forefront by opening my network to the stories of various female lawyers in Canada who are doing impactful work not only in the corporate world, but in their larger communities. By engaging conversations on why these professionals decided to enter the legal field and remain in it after all these years, I hope to inspire other young girls, students and professionals alike on their own journey into the legal world and give them concrete examples of why, as women, they should want to become lawyers.
