Kim Kardashian shares behind-the-scenes pics of her criminal justice reform talk with VP Kamala Harris from White House
KIM Kardashian has shared some BTS pictures from her time at the White House.
On Thursday, the Skims mogul traveled to Washington D.C. to discuss criminal reform with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Their important meeting was held in the Roosevelt Room of The White House.
In many pics, Kim, 43, was spotted giving a speech during their talk while Kamala listened.
On her Instagram Stories, The Kardashians star gave a glimpse into her journey.
She snapped a picture of a steel plaque that read “Seal of the President of the United States.”
In the next pic, Kim showed off what The White House looked like from where she was standing.
The final photo captured Kim posing with a kissy face and a peace sign while walking around the large building.
She captioned her selfie, “Can’t wait to share all about the second chances event today at the White House. Thank you Madame Vice President.”
IN HER LAWYER ERA
In May 2019, Kim revealed that she was studying to become a lawyer by participating in a four-year law apprenticeship in an interview with Vogue.
Even though her late father Robert Kardashian worked as a lawyer, she credited her choice to study law with criminal justice reform advocate Van Jones on his efforts to lower the incarcerated population.
Kim revealed to Vogue, “I just felt like I wanted to be able to fight for people who have paid their dues to society. I just felt like the system could be so different, and I wanted to fight to fix it, and if I knew more, I could do more.”
From 2019 to 2021, she studied for the Baby Bar exam, which is officially called the First-Year Law Student’s Examination (FYLSX).
It’s called the Baby Bar exam because it’s something future lawyers will take before the actual bar exam – and they must pass before continuing their studies.
Kim failed the exam twice but passed the third time.
In a lengthy Instagram post, Kim announced the good news and thanked everyone who helped her study.
The makeup icon said, “Don’t ever give up even when you are holding on by a thread, you can do it!!!!! Set your mind to it and get it done because it feels soooooo good once you get to the other side!”
HOW IT STARTED
Before she announced she was becoming a lawyer, Kim helped set Alice Johnson free from a life sentence in prison for a nonviolent crime.
On May 30, 2018, the reality TV personality met with former President Donald Trump to fight on Johnson’s behalf for her future.
A week later, Trump commuted her life sentence and granted her clemency.
It was reported that Kim heard about Alice’s story via social media.
In a thank you letter to Kim from Alice obtained by TMZ, she was grateful for the star’s help.
She wrote, “Ms. Kardashian, you are quite literally helping to save my life and restore me to my family. I was drowning and you have thrown me a life jacket, and given me hope that this life jacket I’m serving may one day be taken off.”
