Kim
Kardashian
is
reportedly
taking
a
break
from
her
legal
studies,
but
she
hasn’t
given
up
on
her
advocacy
efforts
for
criminal
justice
reform.
Last
week,
the
reality
TV
star
turned
serial
entrepreneur
joined
Vice
President
Kamala
Harris
at
the
White
House
for
a
roundtable
discussion
highlighting
President
Joe
Biden’s
clemency
efforts
for
those
convicted
of
non-violent
drug
offenses.
The
Associated
Press
has
additional
details:
Those
who
sat
down
alongside
Harris,
Kardashian
and
Steve
Benjamin,
the
director
of
the
White
House
Office
of
Public
Engagement,
included
Jason
Hernandez,
Bobby
Lowery,
Jesse
Mosley
and
Beverly
Robinson,
who
all
received
presidential
pardons
[last]
week.
They
spoke
of
successful
careers
—
such
as
running
nonprofits
and
practicing
real
estate
—
and
how
they
were
overcome
with
emotion
when
finding
out
about
their
pardons….
Harris,
who
formerly
served
as
California’s
attorney
general,
spoke
of
her
belief
in
the
“power
of
redemption,”
saying,
“[I]s
it
not
the
sign
of
a
civil
society
that
we
allow
people
a
way
to
earn
their
way
back,
and
give
them
the
support
and
resources
they
need
to
do
that?”
Kardashian,
who
successfully
lobbied
for
the
clemency
of
women
offenders
during
the
Trump
administration,
told
the
group
she
was,
“super
honored”
to
hear
their
stories,
and
that
she
thought
it
was
“so
important
to
amplify
them.”
Kardashian
memorialized
the
day
in
a
post
on
Instagram,
saying
that
while
there
was
“[m]uch
more
to
do,”
she’s
“grateful
for
progress”:
We
have
a
feeling
that
if
Kardashian
is
taking
time
out
of
her
busy
schedule
for
opportunities
like
this,
that
she
may
be
back
on
track
with
her
legal
studies
(in
fact,
she
even
took
a
photo
of
herself
with
Jessica
Jackson
and
Erin
Haney,
the
lawyers
she’s
been
working
with
for
her
apprenticeship).
Best
of
luck
to
her
as
she
advocates
for
criminal
justice
reform,
and
in
her
quest
to
take
the
bar
exam
and
become
a
lawyer.
