Alexandra Wilson is a barrister, author, and campaigner. She gained public attention after being mistaken for a defendant three times in one day at court, prompting her to address discrimination in the legal profession.

She contributed as an expert on Lady Killers with Lucy Worsley.
In 2020, she published her debut book, "In Black and White: A Young Barrister's Story of Race and Class in a Broken Justice System," which received positive reviews. Her second book, "The Witness," was released in summer 2024.
Alexandra studied Politics, Philosophy, and Economics at the University of Oxford before completing a Graduate Diploma in Law and a Master of Laws at BPP University in London. She was awarded the first Queen's scholarship by the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple for her potential in a legal career. In 2023, she graduated with a Master of Law from CU with honours.

Something we've not covered here?
Alexandra Wilson draws on her direct professional experience as a practising barrister to ground her sessions, using a first-person case-based approach in which she recounts documented incidents — including being mistaken for a defendant three times in a single day — to illustrate systemic discrimination within the legal profession.
Alexandra Wilson speaks on racial and class discrimination in the legal justice system, diversity within the legal profession, and the intersection of politics and law. She is a practising barrister and author whose debut book, “In Black and White: A Young Barrister's Story of Race and Class in a Broken Justice System,” drew on her direct experience of being mistaken for a defendant three times in one day at court, and she holds the first Queen's scholarship awarded by the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple.
No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
