Adanna Ezechukwu

Adanna Jennifer Ezechukwu, Barrister of the Court of England and Wales.

This journey has not been easy. Sleepness nights as I prepared for my exams, my grandparent falling sick in the middle of my course, financial pressures from every side (we must have a conversation about the lack of accessibility of the Bar from lower-earning families).

Regardless of the setbacks, I:
✅ Passed all my exams for the first time, getting distinctions in nearly all exams.
✅ Secured a scholarship with The Honourable Society of the Inner Temple
✅ Made amazing friends and mentors who pushed me every step of the way.
✅ Got a job as a Head Paralegal

My story would be incomplete without my family and friends. To them, I owe a lot!

Next stage, to secure pupillage 🏆

He said it because he could.


He was comfortable saying Dianne Abbott should be “shot” and that he “hates all black women” openly because

1. He’s gotten away with it before
2. He thought nobody would call him out on it

I’m tired of the racism and misogyny. Being an educated black woman doesn’t make you immune to it.

I’m tired of disgusting comments being made without accountability.

You don’t need to be black to care
You don’t need to be a woman to care
You need to be a human.

Happy International Women’s Month I guess 🤷🏽‍♀️
