Alexandra Wilson

Alexandra Wilson is a British barrister, author, and campaigner for equality and reform within the justice system. Of Trinidadian and British heritage, she has become one of the most prominent young voices advocating for greater diversity and fairness in the legal profession. In Black and White is her powerful memoir about her experiences as a young mixed-race barrister navigating the criminal justice system in England. The book exposes the racism, bias, and inequality she has witnessed and experienced — including being mistaken for a defendant in court — while making a passionate case for a justice system that works for everyone. It was widely praised for its honesty, its clarity, and its importance. Wilson's advocacy has extended beyond the page, and she has become a sought-after speaker on issues of race, justice, and access to the legal profession. She was named a rising star by multiple publications and has received recognition for her campaigning work. In Black and White is available as an audiobook alongside the print edition, giving listeners a compelling and eye-opening way to engage with one of the most important voices in the debate about justice and equality in Britain.
