Joshanna Hopkinson’s journey to becoming a lawyer has been nothing short of incredible and should serve as an inspiration to anyone who might be tempted to give up on their dreams. Hopkinson almost did that but on the urging of friends and her parents soldiered on.
Hopkinson was admitted to the bar in Guyana on September 20. Her application to practice was presented by Attorney-at-Law Dexter Todd PhD and accepted by Chief Justice (ag) Roxane George.
Hopkinson’s journey of sacrifice not only by her, but also her parents, is also one of dedication, commitment and motivation. It would not have been possible without the support system of family, friends, mentors and organisations. Along the way, she drew inspiration from her mother’s fortitude in overcoming a debilitating illness.
