Karlia Lykourgou - Barrister at Doughty Street Chambers - Founder of Ivy & Normanton - S3 #114
In this episode of the Us People Podcast. Karlia Lykourgou - Barrister at Doughty Street Chambers - Founder of Ivy & Normanton and I have a fulfilling conversation when we talk about:
Being from North London and her family background being Greek, her mother's parents came over in the '60s
Mother being born in London and her father being born in Greece.
Growing up with the Ethnicity and culture of the family and friends around her
Always wanting to be a lawyer and having debates on the school bus
Always having a keen sense of justice and standing up for people.
Building up the confidence to become a Barrister, doing charity work, travelling, and dealing with death penalty cases.
Being kind to yourself, seeing yourself separately from "I and myself" and not objectively, having forgiveness for yourself.
Finding someone, something or some words that you can lean on when you feel like your world is not necessarily going in the right direction. Always having resilience and ambition that will propel you and keep you going.
Having more women in more high profile cases, and are doing high levels of work, but there is still some structure inequality in the way the law operates that still makes it difficult for women to stay there and succeed.
{Thank You So much, Karlia , for being a strong voice for justice and for women to be able to stand up and show their strength}
