From: Malaysia (I’m actually the only Malaysian citizen on campus, hmu if you’d like to learn more about my tropical paradise!)
Areas of Study: International Affairs; Documentary Studies
Why Pass the Mic?:
I am a passionate activist and the ability to combine storytelling and social justice with my love for media appeals to me. It was also an opportunity to contribute to the creation and preservation of a space of comfort and support for students of marginalized identities on campus, an identity that I very much relate to myself. Here, individuals like us are celebrated, encouraged and strengthened by the support of our fellow peers, and that, I think, is a beautiful thing.
Goals for Pass the Mic?:
For there to be greater representation of international students and students of Asian backgrounds, and for their unique stories and perspectives to come through with greater intensity.
While the platform is a safe space for students of marginalized identities, I hope that the platform will gain more traction on campus, to be a unifying entity for all students to learn about and understand the perspectives of the communities we serve.
