Daniel Ajak (2020)

This week we revisit our conversation with lawyer Daniel Ajak. At 13, Daniel left the Kenyan refugee camp he grew up in with his sister and a suitcase, bound for Australia. He had never left the camp before, let alone boarded a plane or been overseas. A few days later he landed in Australia and would not see his parents again for 12 years. Daniel’s upbringing, work ethic, tenacity, community and vision all guided him to a dynamic Life in the Law, including working at Victoria Legal Aid and starting his own legal practice Ajak, Wolan & Associates with partner Natasha Wolan. Daniel is an active member of the Australia African community and it was an absolute pleasure to have him on the show.
