About Black Barred & Balanced

Our community is dedicated to navigating the complexities of law school, and the legal field while addressing the critical intersection of race, identity, and wellbeing. This space was created to spark the unspoken conversations that challenge, inspire, and empower Black women to thrive in the legal profession while remaining true to ourselves.

While confronting the inherent challenges of law school, Black women are also navigating a space where our identity is both present and tested. At Black Barred & Balanced, we’re not afraid to unpack these topics, tackle tough truths, and build a community of support and understanding.

Whether you're a current law student, an aspiring attorney, or simply someone curious about this journey, we welcome you here. Expect reflections, resources, and candid conversations about what it means to pursue a legal career while staying grounded in authenticity and wellbeing.

Join us every Sunday for new posts to support you through law school and beyond!
