What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?

BME groups are underrepresented at UCL, and many of them do not have a platform to express their voice. If I have the opportunity to help, the following changes will be made: 

  1. Bring everybody together by creating a platform 
  2. Creating a community that helps people from BME groups

What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?

I hope to help BME students to:

  • Raise their voice and communicate concerns timely
  • Enjoy BME centered activities 
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?

As a student from Africa(Kenya), I have a first hand experience of challenges faced by BME students thus have a good understanding of the same

Additionally, I have previously worked in an international student organization called AIESEC which is non-governemental and not-for-profit. Through this platform I was able to develop my leadership skills. AIESEC also provided me with a cross-cultural experience which will allow me to represent all BME students from various backgrounds equally. 

Please summarise why students should vote for you.

I will advocate for:

  • Activities  centered around mental health of BME students
  • Activities for integration of BME students
  • Possible solutions to help BME students enjoy  financially sustainable student life
