I’m Madison Torry, a recent law school graduate (May 2022). This podcast is all about me spilling the legal tea about my entire legal journey as a black woman in the legal field - from pre-law, law school, tackling the bar exam, and practicing the law. This podcast won't just cover my journey, but also the experiences of those around me including my family and friends.
If you are a friend, family, or someone who is interested in my journey, make sure you’re following along to the podcast and check the Instagram page for any updates (@soontobeesquire).
