"I believe that privilege comes with responsibility and so as a person I believe it is my responsibility to stand for those who cannot stand for themselves, and to ensure that a platform is given to those without a voice. I believe we have to be unapologetic about standing up for the oppressed people and believe a rigorous and fearless approach is needed."
