Episode 4 - with Glenn Parsons (Barrister)

In this episode of Chewing the Crust, I'm joined by the inspiring Glenn Parsons—a barrister from Leeds with a powerful story of resilience, identity, and justice.Glenn shares his journey from being adopted and growing up in 1980s Leeds, to leaving school without qualifications, working in a supermarket, and ultimately transforming his life through education. Now a successful barrister, Glenn opens up about the challenges he faced, his proudest moments in law, and how he’s working to make the legal profession more inclusive for people from underrepresented backgrounds.We also discuss his campaign to memorialise the all but forgotten Caribbean servicemen who bravely fought for Britain during WWII—including his own uncles—stationed on the Yorkshire Coast, whose stories have long been forgotten.Expect kindness, smiles, and insights into the difficulties of going through emotional legal situations, as we chew the crust of Glenn’s remarkable life.Hosted by: Mark Grimes aka The Pie-Eating ManPodcast: Chewing the Crust🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more incredible stories.
