About the Founder

Nkem is a practising solicitor in the UK, currently serving at the Ministry of Justice in London. She also volunteers as an Ex-Officio Trustee for The City of London Justice Room Charitable Trust (Relief of Poverty) and at her local food bank, championing justice and compassion both in and outside the courtroom.

🎓 Her Path to Law:

Nkem studied Law at London South Bank University, followed by Law School and the Postgraduate Professional Skills Course at the University of Law in London. She was subsequently admitted to the Roll of Solicitors in England and Wales.

But her journey to the legal profession was anything but straightforward.

🌱 From Village Dreams to Legal Advocacy:

Born and raised in Ikpamodo, a rural village in Enugu State, Nigeria, Nkem was a 17-year-old girl with a dream: to study International Relations and make a difference in the world. As a twin in a financially strained household, finishing secondary school was a struggle. Her parents, separated and unable to afford tuition, saw university as an unattainable luxury.

Like many girls in her village, Nkem bowed to societal pressure and married young. University felt like a lost cause.

💪 A Second Chance, Fueled by Determination:

While raising a young family in the UK, Nkem made a bold decision to go back to school. She started from scratch, completing her GCSEs and access courses before earning her place at university. It was a long, demanding road, and she credits her family’s unwavering support for helping her persevere.

Today, Nkem’s story is a testament to resilience, grit, and the transformative power of education.

🎯 Why This Matters:

In Nkem’s village, countless young people still carry the same dreams she once held—yet lack the means to pursue them. When given the opportunity, these students thrive. They uplift their families, reduce poverty, and contribute to a stronger, more equitable society.
