About this listen

Blk (Black) and Barred is more than a podcast—it’s a safe space, a platform, and a growing community for Black lawyers, who make up only 5% of the legal profession. Hosted by Avi B., a millennial Black woman attorney from the South, we blend law, laughter, and real talk like no one else.

This isn’t your average, stuffy legal podcast—we discuss cases, politics and legal concepts in a way that actually makes sense, while spilling tea on wild courtroom dramas, headline-grabbing legal battles, and the realities of navigating a profession not built with us in mind.

Whether you’re a seasoned attorney, a law student, or just here to laugh, learn, and vibe with your favorite legal bestie, Blk and Barred is where brilliance meets unapologetic authenticity. Grab your coffee, wine, or whatever’s in your cup, and let’s get into it.
