The Driven While Black Podcast: THE BAR ROOM is a dedicated to Black lawyers and their behind the scenes journey of success.
With the less than 5% of lawyers that are Black in the US, reversal of affirmative action, and the attack on DEI.....OUR VOICES and OUR STORIES are needed!
At Driven While Black, we are on a mission to cultivate, sustain, and celebrate Black excellence globally.
Our platform provides a space that centers the lived experiences of Black people in the pursuit of excellence.
We believe in honoring the past, recognizing the present, and preparing for the future.

why black lawyers?
Black lawyers are necessary for justice.
“Simply put, representation matters. Diversity in all its dimensions, including gender, ethnicity, economic status, and race, matters because the law and the legal system touch all parts of our society. If our laws and justice system continue to be shaped by the few, [they] will continue to only serve the few and engender respect from even fewer.” She added, “Black lawyers are critical to constructing a justice system that serves all people. [The] very presence of Black lawyers in courtrooms, judges’ chambers, or press conferences countered ugly stereotypes justifying racial subordination.” -EJW CEO Verna Williams,
Less than 5% of all lawyers are African American – the same percentage as 10 years earlier – but the U.S. population is 13.4% African American.
