Lwando recently left private practice to join the project team that is building a museum to the South African constitution and the history of constitutionalism in this country. The museum will sit opposite the Constitutional Court in Johannesburg. We chatted about the state of the nation, about her early and ongoing confrontations with racism and gender bias and how we should use identity politics as a positive thing. We did also discuss the efforts to transform the legal profession in south Africa. You can find out more about Constitution Hill [here](https://www.constitutionhill.org.za/).
