Episode 3 - Angela Lavasseur - Hail to the Chief

Not just anyone can become a lawyer. It takes hard work, determination, and a reason why. For Angela Lavasseur, that reason was clear. Angela was driven by a lifelong love of law and governance, particularly law and governance pertaining to Indigenous peoples.

Angela already had a career educating adolescents, she had five children of her own, and was a grandmother…but she went to the United States to a hybrid in-person and remote-learning program that offered her just what she needed to succeed. And her success story is a total inspiration.
