I have always wanted to change the world. Injustice fuels my bones. My second-year report card read, ‘Lynn has a strong sense of right and wrong’, and I have always been keen to pursue a career in equality issues.
Years ago, I said to a man (while we were sitting on a tree-stump ending our summer romance), ‘You are ready to see all the good in the world; whereas I am burdened by all the problems we need to fix’.
My passion for civil justice and good grades led me to study law at university. Adolescence sees many of us being channelled into academia by the formal education system, so we never really had time to ‘breathe’ with our ideas and passions.
