3 mins read

Corazon Kwamboka, a High Court lawyer turned content creator, has announced a significant return to her legal roots in a move inspired by recent protests against the 2024 Finance Bill.

Kwamboka, who had shifted her focus to content creation, took to Instagram to share the news of her re-engagement with the legal profession, reflecting on her childhood aspirations and the path that led her to where she is today.

“When I was young, I dreamed of becoming a lawyer to defend those who cannot defend themselves,” she wrote.

“Despite the fact that my path took me elsewhere at the time, the desire to do things differently remained.”

Inspired by legal fiction writers like John Grisham, Kwamboka pursued a law degree, fulfilling not only her dream but also that of her parents.

However, after completing law school, she found herself uncertain about how to utilize her degree for personal growth and societal impact.

“I sought guidance through prayer, asking for a sign to guide me to use my skills to serve others,” she explained.

The recent deaths of protesters advocating for justice against the controversial Finance Bill ignited her sense of duty, compelling her to return to the legal profession.

“My intention is clear and firm; to defend those in danger, especially mothers who need a voice,” Kwamboka announced.

“This new mission stirs my spirit. And my working certificate has been updated; I am ready to defend with all my heart those who need help the most.”

Kwamboka’s decision to return to law is seen as a beacon of hope for those seeking justice and representation in these tumultuous times.

The socialite’s re-entry into the legal field underscores the powerful role that legal professionals can play in advocating for social justice and protecting the rights of the vulnerable.

As Kwamboka prepares to take on this new chapter in her career, she is poised to become a significant advocate for justice, drawing on her experiences and passion to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those she aims to defend.

Her commitment to using her legal expertise to support those in need highlights the transformative potential of the legal profession in addressing societal issues.

Corazon Kwamboka became an Advocate of the High Court in the Republic of Kenya on November 21, 2016, when he was admitted to the bar in a ceremony that was presided by former Chief Justice David Maraga.

However, Kwamboka only practiced law for 6 months before she opted to focus on content creation over her law profession.

In 2021, the socialite expressed her desire to go back to practicing law but did not.

It remains to be seen if the injustices perpetrated by the state against the anti-Finance Bill 2024 protesters will be reason enough to compel Corazon Kwamboka to return to her legal roots.
