“I cannot refuse cases on the grounds that I don’t align myself with a client. If I could, I would not have represented a large number of my clients, particularly the ones who have openly told me that they don’t like black people or that they don’t want to be represented by a woman (either not caring or failing to realise that I am both of a black heritage and a woman).”
