I was awarded the Chief Justice's Prize as the best overall student on the Postgraduate Bar Course AY 2024/2025.

This award reflects 15 months of resilience and the unwavering support of a system that refused to let me give up. I am deeply honoured.

This #Juneteenth, we're sitting with a painting that asks what freedom really looks like. In "For Love, and for Country," #AmySherald re-imagines a famed photograph to feature two Black male sailors kissing, presenting a narrative rooted in freedom, queer-joy, and belonging.
