My name is Damini Awoyiga, and I’m honoured to serve as the first Black Student Ambassador at the University of King’s College. In this role, I hope to create space for Black students to feel seen, supported and celebrated throughout their King’s/Dal university experience. As a storyteller, spoken word poet and community advocate, I’m passionate about using creativity and conversation to build spaces for connection and belonging. My goal is to support Black and racialized students in navigating academic and social life at King’s, whether by helping them access resources, connecting them to mentorship opportunities, or simply being a listening ear. I believe that our voices and stories matter deeply, and that building community starts with care and collaboration. Through this role, I look forward to contributing to an environment where Black students can thrive and bring their full selves to the King’s/Dal community.
