'I am only the UK's sixth black female QC'

Nneka Akudolu was told she had little chance of becoming a barrister after getting pregnant in her second year of university, now she's a Queen's Counsel recognised for her excellence.

Ms Akudolu is only the sixth black female QC in the UK and has worked her way up to now deal with the most serious criminal cases - and is asking people to see the "possibilities beyond any obstacles".
