First Gen and the Public Servant vs. Policy Pressures with Atty. Kendrick Washington II

Welcome Back First Gen!

In this episode of the First Gen Law Podcast, we sit down with Kendrick Washington, a fearless advocate and attorney, to explore the complexities of serving as a public servant in shifting political landscapes. Recently, Kendrick’s position at USAID was impacted by administrative changes, and he shares how he is navigating this legal career transition with both practical realism and steadfast hope for the future.

His story reflects not only the challenges of policy-driven employment shifts but also the resilience and forward-thinking mindset required to thrive beyond them. Tune in for Kendrick’s candid yet brilliant take on the state of current affairs and how first-generation attorneys can prepare for and withstand similar pressures.

This episode is for anyone seeking perspective on career resilience, public service, and navigating uncertainty with grace and dignity.
