The University of Bristol has very impressive diversity, but we tend to only join societies of our own cultures. I want to make sure that we make the most of our diversity. That's why I promise to introduce inter-culture gatherings and mixers. Whether it's through food, song, or dance, I want us to learn about and appreciate each other's culture! Of course, UK students will be welcome as well!

Can't believe I'm sharing this picture😂 But that's how you know you can trust me! Total transparency :) Another reason you can trust me? I've been a leader before. I was elected Vice-Captain of my house in 11th grade, and Captain in 12th. I spent 2 years serving my fellow schoolmates, and I don't intend to stop now!

Have you had a hard time connecting with the current doctors in Student Health Service? Yeah, me too, there are currently ZERO doctors of colour on the team! These doctors provide counselling and therapy, but they can't offer much help if they can't understand your background and upbringing! If elected, I pledge to bring doctors of colour onto the staff so that students of colour can be better understood!

New to speaking English as a first language? Feeling out of place in the new culture? If elected, I promise to introduce language enhancement workshops to help students find their voice in a foreign tongue!
