What, like it’s hard?
44-year-old Skims co-founder and chief creative officer Kim Kardashian shared that she graduated from an apprenticeship program with a San Francisco law firm.
It took her six years to complete the program as she failed to pass the “baby bar” three times. She finally passed in 2021.
“Six years ago, I embarked on an unconventional path to pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer. It wasn't easy, and it took longer than planned, but I never gave up. Each course brought moments of doubt, tears, and triumph — especially when I conquered subjects I initially feared.
“That's the beauty of life: You step into the unknown, push through, and emerge with knowledge and strength no one can take away.”
Kardashian chose a rigorous program registered with the California State Bar, building on 75 college credits to complete a four-year curriculum that stretched to six. “The journey was real, and so is the accomplishment,” she added.
Chris Young, Michelle West and Dawn Jackson, whom Kardashian and her team have championed for their release from prison, spoke at her graduation.
“Their deeply personal stories of perseverance through adversity and injustice profoundly inspires me and form the heart of my ‘why.’ I'm deeply grateful to Van Jones, who introduced me to this path, and to my mentors, Jessica Jackson and Erin Haney, whose guidance was invaluable.
“Special thanks to Sam Farkas and Chuck Shonholtz, who dedicated countless hours to help me succeed.
"This experience has shaped me profoundly, and I'll carry its lessons with me forever. Here's to celebrating resilience and new beginnings,” she ended.
Her father, Robert Kardashian, was an American attorney and businessman.
