Hey everybody. I am delighted to have Ariel Mitchell with us as promised.

Huge thank you to Ariel for coming on and huge thank you to all the viewers

who have been sending so many questions in throughout the day.

Of course there is an insane fascination with the Diddy case, but before we get to all that, let's just ask Ariel, you know, what got you into this career?

Was it something you dreamed of as a young person?

What motivated you to go down this road?

So since I was 15 years old, I definitely wanted to be an attorney.

I always wanted to be a lawyer.

I have a lot of public speaking background because I'm from Chicago, and I grew up with Emma Till's mother. So

Emma Till's mother had a speaking group called the Emmettill Players, where she taught us all of

Dr. King's speeches. So from seven years old, I was the featured keynote speaker

when they renamed 71st Street in Chicago to Emmettille Road. I was the featured speaker at that

engagement. And so I had a lot of, I should say, civil rights instilled in me from a very, very

young age. Now, when I did become a lawyer, I wasn't

aiming to get into this kind of law. I'll give my client, Jihara Jeffries, the kudos and the

respect for essentially dragging me into this arena. I did start off working.

Keep going. Keep going. Sorry. Okay. So it was, I like the other side where I was making money working for celebrities, you know, underground, keeping things quiet. So when

Jahar Jeffries approached me about her case with Tray songs, I was initially very hesitant about doing that with her.

So after some convincing after several months, that was the first case that I got into and pretty much it belonged into what you see today.

And does it give you satisfaction representing these people?

It does give me a lot of satisfaction representing these people.

I come from a very low-income family in Chicago, black family.
