He is also the founder of LifeofFocus, a charity dedicated to mentoring and educating disenfranchised young people.

In this episode, Akinsanya and McPherson discuss: Being a criminal barrister and Stephen’s inspiration behind it, mentoring young people, the history of Black people within law, thoughts on Black History Month, and how to change the culture on Black education.
