Full discloser, this is part one of several cocktails made with one bottle of champagne.
I tried this cocktail and I said, “ dammit I did not need two learn I liked champagne mixed with cognac, now I have to become a real lawyer so I can pay for this. “ I won’t though, everything I want to do exists in the public sector or academia and doesn’t pay a living wage with two post graduate degrees, or has my mother says “ Do you plan on being paid eventually?”
For some people, being a lawyer allowed them to reach places they otherwise would not have, there is no question that education and income open doors, even if they shouldn't. Born imprisoned in an interment camp during world war 2 , Mia was well aware of the effects of racial discrimination, leading Mia to become a dedicated advocate for those navigating a criminal justice system inherently unjust to those who are not white. Being a lawyer allowed Mia Yamamoto to pay for therapy and other services she needed to validate her gender identity. Something that, we should all have free access too. Mia speaks on issues related to gender, race and queerness.
