I ran and was elected to be the president of the Afro Caribbean Society (ACS) from 2012-2013 at the University of Essex. In that time we created a monumental event for Black History Month called Heritage. We celebrated our culture through dance, fashion, poetry and drama. And for the first time ever (or in a very long time), the event was sold out and packed to the brim with people from the local Essex community as well as university students.
