Tiffany Obeng, a lawyer specializing in employment
discrimination, shares her journey of transitioning from
practicing law to becoming a successful children's book author.
Through her books, Tiffany aims to inspire young readers,
especially Black children, to explore diverse career paths and
embrace the power of literacy. Join us as Tiffany discusses the
importance of representation in literature and the impact of
alternative legal careers in shaping a more inclusive future.





Lawyer Side Hustles


Side hustles for lawyers can be a powerful way to explore
passions outside of the legal field, as demonstrated by Tiffany
Obeng's journey as an author. Tiffany's experience highlights the
importance of pursuing multiple interests and not limiting
oneself to a single career path. This mindset can empower lawyers
to leverage their skills and creativity in different ways, such
as writing books, starting a business, or engaging in other
entrepreneurial ventures alongside their legal practice.
“You can pursue two things. You don't have to just be one
thing,” shares Tiffany Obeng in Episode 141 of You Are a Lawyer.

Tiffany's success as an author while maintaining her legal career
showcases the potential for lawyers to excel in side businesses.
Her story emphasizes the value of embracing diverse opportunities
and not being afraid to step into new ventures. As she aptly put
it, "Do it scared." This mindset encourages lawyers to push past
their fears and uncertainties, allowing them to explore new
avenues and create additional sources of fulfillment and success
beyond the traditional legal realm. By embracing side hustles,
lawyers can unlock their full potential and make a meaningful
impact in various fields while continuing to excel in their legal
profession.
