In this episode of Voices That Move Us, Alex Bejarán Estévez speaks with Francis Adewale, president elect of the Washington State Bar Association’s Board of Governors and a 2009 graduate of the Washington Leadership Institute (WLI). Francis shares how formative experiences, from being wrongfully arrested as a teenager in Nigeria to building a decades long public defense career in Spokane, shaped his deep commitment to justice. He reflects on how WLI helped him find new purpose and inspired him to cofound Spokane’s nationally recognized Community Court.
