The networking opportunities Black Impact provided me were vital and useful towards my re-election. I was inspired by the successes of my counterparts in other Unions, especially those elected before me.

When I was elected last year, I was the 2nd Black officer my union had ever had. Black Impact allowed me to find a network of people I could identify with and go to for support. Within a year, the union now has its most diverse officer team in history, and I believe Black Impact played a part in that. In the future, I look forward to seeing how Black Impact can further enhance my leadership ability and develop my social activism.

Black Impact has helped me connect with other people within the student movement that I wouldn’t have been able to. I’ve been very grateful that Black Impact has given me a sense of community with other Black student officers. It makes me happy to see Black officers celebrating other Black officers getting elected. It is really important for us to have that visibility within the student movement.

In terms of support, the first training about how Black students win elections was really helpful and was an eye-opener to the issues Black students face during elections. Attending that training was a real advantage and I was able to put a lot in check during my elections. In the future, I would like to see Black Impact become a wider community helping and training Black students across several universities. I also see Black Impact offering training to SUs and white students on themes like unconscious bias.

I’ve been to two Black Impact events and I can say they were awesome and interesting. I learned so much and was challenged to do more. I am looking forward to seeing Black Impact reach students across the country.

Black Impact created a platform for me to learn more about leadership. The training provided was useful in my campaign strategies. I found it as an opportunity and platform for emerging Black Leaders.
