Identifying the Issue

There seems to be unwritten rules in the legal field. They appear to dictate how lawyers should act and what their character traits should be, including how they should look and behave. But all this does is keep power in the same hands. The legal profession wasn’t built with women of colour in mind. This means that women of colour feel like they don’t belong and instead of sticking to their authentic selves, they begin to conform. The pressure to fit in and the constant second guessing impacts their well being and happiness. In order to be accepted, they have to play by the already set rules, especially as they avoid upsetting the status quo.

Working Towards Growth

Instead of constantly editing themselves in the legal profession, women of colour should be free to take off the mask they put on at work. To be able to do this, they need to work towards being okay with their authentic selves. This means a shift in perspective. To reframe the mindset they have around conforming as the only way to succeed.
