EP 24: Black Femme Legal

In this episode we are joined by Samantha Peters. Samantha is a lawyer, LLM candidate at Queen’s University Faculty of Law, and the current Director of Legal Initiatives and Public Interest at Black Femme Legal. Samantha is also a frequent commentator and writer on workers’ rights, sexual and gender-based violence, social policy and critical race theory in Canada. In this episode Samantha asks the important question: who does the law protect and serve? We also discuss how Samantha has found empowering and soul nourishing work, the need for ongoing support for Black law students, why abolishing the bar exam is so important, and the power of a delicious mushroom quinoa risotto.
