Adriana Slack

Hi! My name is Adriana Slack and with your help, I would love to be the next member for the Black & Minority Ethnic Students Network. Currently at Imperial, I am a postgraduate masters student studying public health with a focus in health policy systems. With my background in public health I believe it is crucial for minority groups within Imperial to have a safe space and community to turn towards outside of the classroom.

Throughout my school years, I have led organizations that centers Black and ethnic students not only having a voice but allowing for their voices to be heard. As previous president and vice president of my undergraduate program's Caribbean Students' Association and Black Public Health Network, I pride myself in giving students the opportunity to take up space in a place that historically doesn't allow them to.

As a BMEN member, I will aim to provide...

-Consistent collaboration among other networks of color as well as with Imperial faculty and staff to facilitate imperative communication.

-Host cross-cultural events to recognize the importance of our differences while also understanding our similarities.

-Be a guiding light for any idea or conversation to arise that needs special attention.

Holding a Bachelor's degree in Global Public Health and Anthropology shows my dedication and commitment to learning and understanding people's cultures, health, and places that are unique to them. I truly hope I can create a space where students within BMEN have a unique space and experience for them, thank you.
