Kim Kardashian revealed that she took up law and is aiming to take the bar exam to become a lawyer in 2022. The reality TV star said that she decided on this matter back in 2018 and it wasn't until 2019 that she was able to have time to focus on her 4-year apprenticeship.

Her decision attracted mixed reactions, some were quick to roll their eyes and stated that she only did it in order to rake in ratings for their show "Keeping up with the Kardashians." But her supporters expressed their support on her decision to pursue her dream and choosing the profession of her late father Atty. Robert Kardashian.

In 2018, Kim Kardashian worked with the White House in order to plead the case for clemency on behalf of Alice Marie Johnson, she met with President Donald Trump and she said in her Vogue interview that sitting in a room with all of the powerful attorneys, judges and the President made her want to go through with the plan.

Kim Kardashian on her four black kids

In her Vogue interview, Kardashian talked about her four kids with rapper Kanye West and how they inspired her to pursue her dream of becoming a lawyer. She said that raising four black children in today's society wherein black and brown people are being discriminated against really opened her eyes. It made her want to do more so she could save lives and she also wanted to dig into the system and correct everything that is wrong. She felt that it was her duty to herself and to her children more than the public and that she wanted to be a good role model for her children.

The reality TV star said on "Good Morning America" that juggling family life and student life while studying law is not easy. She studies in the afternoons, she goes to the office and she does her extra reading and other things at home from 9 pm to 11 pm. In just two more years, she will become a lawyer, and she wanted her fans to be a part of her journey. She premiered her documentary "Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project" on April 5, 2019.

Discrimination in America

Every year, hundreds of African American children report discrimination and acts of racism that are often left unnoticed, and the media and police are not giving it much attention.

In America, African Americans are more likely to be arrested for offenses that not heavy, while white Americans only get a slap on the wrist. Because of this, there is a disproportionate number of the prison populations. African Americans also have a higher chance of getting shot by the police than white people.

The movement Black Lives Matter has been calling for justice against unfair police treatment, discrimination, and police brutality for years since 2013. And every year, they hold marches asking for equality and the fundamental reordering of society wherein people of color, especially black people, are free from any systematic dehumanization. The impact of the movement on the legal and political landscape is undeniable and with continuous support, they can achieve their ultimate goal.
