Andre Johnson, an assistant public defender with the Knox County Community Law Office in Knoxville, Tennessee, joins Pauline on the show to talk about the man behind the viral Juneteenth LinkedIn post about becoming a member of the Tennessee State Bar.

Andre, who hails from the rural community of Decoy, St Mary, Jamaica, shares with us the long road he has travelled using educational excellence as his passport, the family inspiration behind his calling and why he is passionate about the "Black Lives Matter" movement in the USA despite his nationality.
