Juanita Owusu-Brobbey

As a dedicated Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion representative at the Institute of Americas, I’ve honed skills in fostering dialogue, attending workshops, and championing initiatives to amplify diverse voices. I believe these skills are invaluable for effectively serving as Welfare Officer for the African Caribbean Society at University College London.

Recognising the unique welfare needs of the African and Caribbean community, I propose initiatives tailored to our well-being. This includes providing spaces for expression, such as designated areas for boys to express themselves and well-being activities like hair braiding classes for women.In addition to collaborating with welfare officers for demographic-specific activities to boost community inclusivity.

Your well-being matters to me, and I am committed to extending our impact beyond campus borders by supporting African and Caribbean-based charities. Together, we can contribute meaningfully to the wider community while fostering a sense of pride and solidarity.

My involvement in the African Caribbean Society has not only enriched my university experience but also enabled me to forge lasting friendships and enhance my social skills. I aspire to be a facilitator in creating similar opportunities for others, regardless of their year of study.

Let’s redefine the role of the Welfare Officer as a beacon of positivity and support.

Thank you for considering me to be your next welfare officer!
