2. Why Being a Law Student & Bar Exam Taker of Color Is So Stressful & What You Can Do to Feel Less Stressed

In this episode, Roberta discusses the unique stresses faced by law students and bar exam takers of color, sharing shocking statistics on bar passage rates for different racial groups.
 
Highlighting that Black examinees had a 57% first-time pass rate in 2022 compared to 83% for White examinees, Roberta delves into potential psychological causes, including stereotype threat. She touches on and reviews research and studies, including a mindset intervention program that significantly improved pass rates for underrepresented minorities.
 
In this episode Roberta reminds you of the importance of focusing on mindset, affirmations, and prayer, using the "MAP" strategy from her Blessed & Barred® program. Through scientific and testimonial evidence, Roberta stresses that a right mindset can significantly enhance chances of passing. We wrap up with prayer, encouraging listeners that with faith and the right approach, they can transcend statistics and achieve success.

1. What It Means For You To Be Blessed And Barred

In this inaugural episode of the Blessed & Barred® Faith, Law School, and the Bar Exam Podcast, I dive into what it truly means to be "blessed and barred."
 
This concept is more than a mere label; it's a transformative mindset, identity, and movement for aspiring and practicing attorneys. In the episode we discuss the biblical foundations of being blessed, referencing the Beatitudes, and emphasize the importance of approaching law school and the bar exam from a blessed rather than stressed perspective.
 
With over a decade of experience in the legal profession, I outline a three-step program to support your journey, highlighting how a faith-based approach can safeguard against the profession's common pitfalls.
 
Join me in embracing this powerful mindset and explore the journey of becoming a licensed attorney nourished by faith, rather than plagued by the world's stresses.
