A former Berbice journalist who came from humble beginnings, and was raised to believe that a woman’s sole purpose is to be a housewife, has defeated the odds and was sworn in as an attorney-at-law last month.
It was a proud moment for Moonmattie Devi Seitaram, 32, when Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall of the Supreme Court in Georgetown admitted her to the Bar.
Her petition was presented by her mentor and best friend, Tuanna Hardy, who is also a Berbician.
