From reality television star to beauty mogul to sunglasses designer, Kim Kardashian has excelled in the variety of roles she’s taken on throughout her illustrious career. Now, she is hard at work to add another addition to her resume — lawyer.
The 38-year-old revealed her career plans in a new interview for the May 2019 issue of Vogue, in which she also stars as the month’s cover model.
“I had to think long and hard about this,” she said of her decision to take on a four-year apprenticeship with a firm in San Francisco, which came after her work last year to free 63-year-old Alice Marie Johnson from prison after she had been living behind bars for a nonviolent drug charge for over two decades.
“The White House called me to advise to help change the system of clemency, and I’m sitting in the Roosevelt Room with, like, a judge who had sentenced criminals and a lot of really powerful people and I just sat there, like, ‘Oh s**t.’ I need to know more,” she said.
The star continued, explaining that while she was able to argue the humane side of the issue, she had attorneys along with her that were able to present factual evidence to enhance the case even further — something she realized she needed to know to help her become even more involved.
“I just felt like the system could be so different, and I wanted to fight to fix it, and if I knew more, I could do more,” she told the magazine.
