In this episode, we continue our discussion with Dr. Sandie Okoro OBE, Group General Counsel at Standard Chartered Bank joins Justin Farrance.

Sandie was told at the age of eight that ‘little black girls like you don’t become judges’.

Having ignored the naysayers and risen to be listed by Powerlist as one of the most influential people of African and African Caribbean heritage in the U.K., Sandie shares her story, meaningful advice to those who feel pressured to conform within their careers, and some of her decisions along the way, including why her ‘Women in Law’ portrait is captioned, ‘this is what a single mother from Balham looks like’.
