Candidates
Rawleka: Having been UCL Hall Rep & POC Officer 2023-24, I bring a whirlwind of energy, creativity & a fierce dedication to amplifying POC voices! Building upon the successes of my 2 years in the SU, I will work tirelessly to create fun events & promote zero tolerance for discrimination.
Sharvari: Leveraging my experience as president of BAME in PALS Soc, I will bring previous events such as regular self-care nights (free pizza & hot chocolate!) and cocktail-making nights to a larger scale. As a driven campaigner for ActionAid, I know how to push boundaries and create impactful results.
We'll expand our repertoire of events to encompass cultural celebrations, educational workshops, and networking opportunities.
Ideas:
- Intersociety collaborations - charity danceathons, dumpling & samosa making nights, food festivals
- Celebrating student artists - poetry, spoken word & open mic nights
- Monthly drop-in sessions - to express your concerns (with free food!)
We plan to:
- Decolonise the curriculum - workshops to challenge stereotypes
- Develop a zero-tolerance policy for racism
- Destigmatise mental health - ensure that every student has access to the support they need to thrive
PICTURE THIS: a vibrant campus filled with the rhythm of diversity & inclusion, where every voice is not just heard but celebrated! With Rawleka as POC Officer 2023-24 (from Montserrat), and Sharvari as BAME in PALS Soc President (from India), we'll make it happen!
OUR MISSION IS CLEAR: to build a strong UCL identity within the POC community and keep the SU accountable. We'll ramp up our event calendar with fun events with POC professionals & artists and collaborative ventures with cultural societies. We are not just thinking outside the box – we're redefining it.
VOTE RAWLEKA AND SHARVARI! :)
