All Black Everything
Episode Three features an all black cast of attorneys in honor of black history month. Hence the name "All Black Everything." The first live show by AWS features the host Everett K. Hopkins having an in-depth discussion with his three guests Jubril Oladirin, Yanique Williams, and Everett Hopkins of Hopkins Law Group, LLC. The group talks about their all-too-common experiences and issues that black law students and young black practicing attorneys face in the classroom and the courtroom. Surprisingly (or not), despite the age gap between the guests, the experiences are not that different despite the change in the times. The conversation has it's ups and downs but is absolutely necessary to understand what it is like to be a black lawyer in a practice dominated by white men.
