Candidate Statement: Addressing racism in various
environments necessitates education, exposure to diversity, and the promotion
of inclusivity to cultivate respect for all individuals, regardless of their
backgrounds. This issue is closely tied to mental health, as many individuals
struggle with these challenges, impacting their well-being. I am well-suited
for this role due to my personal experiences and willingness to listen to those
afraid to voice their concerns. My background includes serving as a head
captain and anti-bullying ambassador, and I am currently involved with Speak Up
Speak Out, advocating for students facing bullying, discrimination, and
harassment. I aim to facilitate one-on-one or group discussions to empower
young people and make a positive impact in the community, shedding light on
these critical issues.
