People of Colour Officer Darlyn Tan-Sik
Hey Flinders! My name is Darlyn Tan-Sik and I am running to be your People of Colour Officer with the Activate team! I am currently studying Bachelor of Psychology (Honours). There is a high student population of people of colour at Flinders, but there is little representation of that cultural diversity within the campus culture and university media. Our identities have often been oppressed and ignored, so I am committed to providing platforms and opportunities for people of colour to feel comfortable in expressing our diverse cultures, religions and traditions with the broader community to create a more culturally accepting university. I am a skilled advocate with extensive experience in the Flinders community as President and Secretary of the Queer Collective, a General Council Member, and Welfare Officer for Student Council. These roles have enabled me to deliver projects such as Be A Better Human, Pride Fest, Transgender Day of Visibility, Student Poverty Week, Period Product Dispensers, Wear It Purple Day, How to Adult, Grab & Go, and more. My team and I want to further acknowledge the intersectionality of our identities to create a community which enjoys the benefits of a multicultural student population and allows people of colour to feel safe to be their genuine selves, without the fear of being attacked for their cultural beliefs.
