Editing the material for my first session of #TCWo

Editing the material for my first session of #TCWorkshopWednesdays tomorrow! This slide brought back memories because it took me so long to understand this until it finally clicked!

I was then able to write better applications as I understood the importance of really understanding the law firm as a business.

The next part is understanding how YOU fit into the bigger picture for a particular firm. Which is where a good base of research, commercial awareness and understanding yourself comes in handy.

What are some of your top tips for this process?

#TCWednesdayWorkShops Application season is well

#TCWednesdayWorkShops

Application season is well and truly in full swing. On my own path, I was fortunate enough to be able to talk to lawyers, other trainees and offer holders before I made my applications.

With the volume of messages I have been receiving, I currently can’t do as many individual calls as I am only one person. However, to meet this demand I will be hosting free #TCWednesdayWorkshops with small groups over the next four weeks.

AGENDA

Over a 45 minute session the agenda will cover:

1. My background - from London Law Student to future Tech Lawyer.

2. Outline of my method - resources, research and organising my approach.

3. Understanding the law firm as a business - The Three Whys.

4. My Clifford Chance IGNITE experience - writing a strong cover letter and developing your USP

5. Q&A Session

To sign up please register on the below link on the week that suits you. Note I will be limiting each session to 10 attendees to ensure everyone can ask the questions that they need.

Lastly, to make this fair please do only sign up for one slot.

🍂Happy October everyone, how time flies! I want

🍂Happy October everyone, how time flies! I wanted to drop by with an announcement that the London Law Student Shop is now live on my blog! I have been working on this for a while and wanted to have a big launch, however in the spirit of taking my own advice, I decided to start with the next best small step.

If you follow my newsletter you'll know my September saga was less than ideal but we don't let that stop us 💃 When I first started studying Law, I really struggled with analyzing and applying case law effectively and knowing where to start. Through this printable, I hope to make the process less painful for someone else.

📝The first resource now available in the shop is the Case Analysis Digital Printable available in 6 colours. With each purchase, you get a choice of 1 colour, 1x blank PDF and 1x lined PDF. There is also a detailed guide on the product page and tips on how to best use this.

Once my laptop woes are over, I will be releasing more printables to help law students put their best footward in their studies, and free resources for aspiring lawyers.

Link in bio and swipe through to see what to expect. Let me know what you think, and good luck with your studies! 💫

Apart from looking like I’m now running a QVC empire, Sunday wasn’t bad at all. If you follow my newsletter, you know 😉

Today I filmed a little plant and chat video for my new #bonsaibabies , took a walk around my old neighbourhood in Camden and did my best to live in the moment.

Here’s to a new week, we’ve got this 🌱💫

Happy Tuesday All ✨ I know it's been a while and

Happy Tuesday All ✨ I know it's been a while and if you follow my newsletter (shameless plug #LinkInBio), you'll know my September has started less than ideal for various reasons.

The good news is that it also forced me to really reflect on what my priorities are and what is the most important thing for me to do right now. Because honestly sometimes I try to do too much, but just because I can doesn't mean I should or that I am being effective at all.
__
This is for me to say, I will likely not be focusing on creating content for Instagram specifically, but instead, I need to focus on two other key projects, which will be upcoming soon.
__
One of the things I would love to do is mentor more especially with application season but I can't always do that with a full-time job (and besides there are others who are doing an amazing job such as @grow.mentoring and @thecorporatelawacademy).
__
Instead, I will be focusing on making evergreen content and a resource bank that anyone can access at any time on my blog, newsletter and Youtube. That doesn't mean I won't post at all but I wanted to keep you all updated.
__
A great reminder for me this week was listening to One Thing by Gary Keller again:

"You have only so much time and energy, so when you spread yourself out, you end up spread thin. You want your achievements to add up, but that actually takes subtraction, not addition. You need to be doing fewer things for more effect instead of doing more things with side effects"

ANNOUNCEMENT! Hope you all had a restful Bank Holi

ANNOUNCEMENT! Hope you all had a restful Bank Holiday! And I’m back 🙌🏾

On Thursday (3rd September) I will be going live with Crafty Counsel @craftycounselhq for an hour chit chat about all things from law to tech to being a black woman in the profession!

We will chat about my journey from Zimbabwe (🇿🇼🥳), graduating from UCL Laws in 2016. Following this, how I worked within the Financial Technology sector coding regulations, followed by working in Legal Tech training artificial intelligence.

I will be joined and hosted by the lovely @wanipa.ndh_ who is also a future Clifford Chance trainee currently working at Crafty Counsel before she starts.

If you have any questions for me (or Wanipa!) DM us before next Thursday and we’ll chat about it too👩🏾‍⚖️💚

In the final part of my "In Conversation with Clif

In the final part of my "In Conversation with Clifford Chance" series, I go behind the scenes with Vanessa Simpungwe.

At the time of filming late last year (October 2019), Vanessa was a trainee and she has since successfully qualified as an Associate at Clifford Chance 🎉

In this episode, Vanessa offers a unique perspective as someone who did a non-law degree (History) and the journey to becoming a trainee. We discuss what life is like at Clifford Chance, and what to expect as a trainee.

In part two of my conversation with Paget Dare-Bry

In part two of my conversation with Paget Dare-Bryan, I find out what it takes to be a partner at Clifford Chance and some of their top characteristics.

With application season coming in again in full swing, it was also great to get his take and insight on what he thinks makes a Clifford Chance Lawyer.

A huge thank you to Paget for giving up his time last year to film this, there was so much great insight it was hard editing this down from 60 minutes of conversation into just a total of 10 minutes!

Swipe through for a quick preview. You can also find the link to this YouTube series in my bio! Let me know what you think and if his answer was what you expected! 🔗

And it’s up!

Filmed prior to the lockdown late last year (and before my rebrand), in this video, I speak to Financial Regulation, Banking & Finance Partner, Paget Dare-Bryan, as part of my "In Conversation With" ... Series.

From Trainee to Partner I go behind the scenes with Paget and hear about his journey with Clifford Chance. If you are doing applications or thinking of applying this is a great video to get insight into the firm, and what you can expect from being a trainee to becoming a partner.

🖤CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION🤍 This Thursday

🖤CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION🤍

This Thursday at 7pm, Emma & I will be discussing diversity in the legal profession live on her page @inhousepotter. The aim of this session is to create a safe space for us all to continue the conversation, allowing us to share our experiences and deepen our awareness of diversity issues in the legal sector.

The session will be just 30 minutes long and we hope for it to be as interactive as possible. I will be sharing my own experience to date as a black woman in the profession, and should you be comfortable, we encourage you to share yours too. Please reach out if you have something you would like us to share in the aim of increasing awareness. We will of course keep these anonymous should you wish to do so.

We hope that through this live, we can continue to educate each other, build a strong allyship and make a difference.

Please share this post with anyone who you believe would benefit from this talk.

Let’s bring love and open minds to the discussion and continue our education together 🖤🤍

I was recently interviewed by @thestudentlawyeruk

I was recently interviewed by @thestudentlawyeruk and @meaganleightley about my journey into the legal profession and my own experiences as a Black woman in Law.

We also talked about the open letter that I posted to the legal profession last month in light of the protests that highlighted the racial inequality that still exists within our society and what we can be doing to keep moving forward.

Around this time four years ago I experienced a da

Around this time four years ago I experienced a day I thought would never come. From finishing out my 1st And 2nd year with some disappointing grades, questioning my ability and future prospects - I had faced all of the feels during my time at UCL. Shout out to my dad and little sister for bearing with all my Facetime crises 😅😅
__
On top of that, from my graduation day I had less than 6 weeks to find a job otherwise I would have to move back home to Manchester (which was not what I wanted to do). In this moment I had nothing figured out.
__
I wish I could go back and tell me to enjoy the day a little bit more and my time at uni by being in the moment. Everything will work itself out. Be kind to yourself - you had to work to support yourself during your studies and you still managed to pull it back in the end.
__
Things may not look like how you expected them to be, but you will be fine. Life often has a funny way of working itself out with time. Remember, your job doesn’t define who you are, it’s not your personality. Focus on your true dreams and again the right opportunities will come. Stay true and consistent and always be kind.
__
Things may seem impossible right now, but you’ve made it this far. You were made for such a time as this. Don’t focus on what you can’t control, but on those things that are within your power to change instead.
__
Continue making one degree of change and when you look back, you’ll be surprised how small actions compound over time.
__
I know things seem even more uncertain for the class of 2020, but I just wanted to offer some hope and say I am so impressed by the resilience I’ve seen across the community. You’ve got this 💫
