“Attending the 2025 Trinity Call Ceremony was deeply inspiring and emotional. Witnessing my sister’s hard work turn into achievement filled me with pride. The presence of family made it even more meaningful, and the solemn tradition of the ceremony created an unforgettable atmosphere that honoured both personal journey and historic significance. A truly special moment.”

“My journey to the Bar has been a long and turbulent one, and the Call Night marked the end of that chapter and the beginning of a new one. It was a glorious evening filled with joy, laughter, celebration, and deep gratitude – knowing that all my hard work, and the unwavering support and investment of my family and friends, had finally paid off. I’m especially thankful to my mentor, Emma Akuwudike, for her guidance, encouragement, and belief in me throughout this journey. I’m honoured and grateful for the opportunity to be a member of the Inn. Above all, I thank God for such a smooth and perfect evening.”
