Next 100 Voices

A film series on the next generation of women leaders in the law, Next 100 Voices, has been launched by Next 100 Years, the successor project to First 100 Years

The first film features criminal defence barrister Abimbola Johnson, of 25 Bedford Row, who currently chairs an independent oversight board created last year by the National Police Chiefs’ Council to scrutinise police forces on the implementation of an action plan on race. 

Johnson speaks about the impact of George Floyd’s murder and reflects on being ‘the only other black face in the court room’.
