In this episode, we sit down with Anita Moukori, a Black woman from France who lived out a dream: studying law in the U.S. as a Fulbright scholar. She opens up about what it’s like to leave home, step into a whole new academic culture, and carry her identity proudly in spaces where she hasn’t always seen herself represented. We talk about the highs, the challenges, and the lessons she’s learning along the way, and how this journey is shaping not only her career, but also her sense of self. If you’ve ever thought about studying abroad, chasing an opportunity that feels bigger than you, or simply finding your place in new spaces, this conversation is for you.
Anita's Bio: I'm Anita, a law graduate with a double degree in English and French law, and an LL.M. in Intellectual Property from Cardozo School of Law, where I was a Fulbright Scholar. I’m currently interning at a IP boutique law firm in Paris. I’m passionate about the intersection of law and creativity, and I love working on projects that help artists and storytellers share their work with the world. I am extremely happy to be on this podcast, which offers the opportunity to connect with others, exchange ideas, and be part of a conversation about building meaningful and fulfilling careers in the legal field.
