We recently let you know that our one of our Partners, Angela Jackman, had been invited to speak at The Law Society’s Black History Month Inspirational Event. Angela shared a platform with Mrs. Justice Dobbs, the first and only African-Caribbean high court judge.
The feedback has been phenomenal! Alessandra Williams, Chair of the Black History Month Committee, wrote to Angela to thank her for attending the event and to praise her ‘inspirational’ speech. Angela gave an ‘uplifting and relevant’ speech to a full capacity audience of students and lawyers.
There was praise for the speakers’ ability to complement each other perfectly and the organisers were only sorry that they hadn’t recorded the event for those who couldn’t attend.
In fact, it was such a success that they are now planning on holding more than one annual event.
Whilst we’re not surprised that Angela made such an impact, we’re delighted that her passion and commitment have inspired the next generation of black and minority ethnic lawyers.
