I. Stephanie Boyce CBE FKC: “A society grows great when we plant trees in whose shade we know we shall never sit.”

“Dr I. Stephanie Boyce CBE shattered nearly two centuries of convention to become Britain’s Law Society’s first Black president.

Raised on a council estate, she rose to honorary professor at King’s College London and earned a CBE in the 2026 New Year Honours for services to law.

Her philosophy, P.U.S.H., Persevere Until Something Happens, captures a life built on grit, refusing to accept the limits others assumed. Indeed, history bends when determination refuses to wait.”— Africa Giant

To adapt an ancient quote:
“A society grows great when we plant trees in whose shade we know we shall never sit.”

Thank you to everyone who planted trees in which I and so many others could enjoy the shade.-I. Stephanie Boyce CBE FKC
