SeriesStacey Dooley: Fresh Starts

Jeanette: My 10-year journey to becoming a barrister

Stacey Dooley

Available for over a year

In the final episode of the series, Stacey meets Jeanette from Derby, who overcame a decade of life hurdles to finally qualify as a practising barrister. Jeanette sadly lost both her parents by the time she was 12, but was determined to make her mum proud. After some sketchy jobs, money worries, juggling motherhood, and struggling with an injury, she's finally able to take on court cases of her own - whilst staying true to herself (and keeping her wig in a plastic food container!). Fresh Starts will be back later in the year gang, so keep across social media for more info! ==================== Credits: Presenter: Stacey Dooley Producers: Blanca Muñoz, Francesca Bent Executive producer: Natasha Johansson Social videos: Maia Lowerson This has been a Little Dooley production for BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds.
