Evan was a Member of the first
Welsh Youth Parliament from 2018 to 2021.
The following was her candidate
statement for election to the first Welsh Youth Parliament:
My Key Issues are:
- Support for Youth Services
- Mental Health
- Tackling Discrimination and Racial Issues
My name is Angel Ezeadum and I am
13 years old. I am a young black girl who is working her way from the bottom
in order to reach the top. I would love to be supported by Race Council
Cymru for the Welsh Youth Parliament because I believe that I could be the
voice for Wales’ young black and ethnic minorities!
In terms of my experience, I
work with Cardiff Youth Council which has allowed me to work with people from
various backgrounds and different ages. In addition, I hold a very strong
interest in politics and I’m enthusiastic about the current matters affecting
our world.
I am an ambitious, confident,
enthusiastic young person who adores making others smile! I strongly believe
that becoming a member of the Welsh Youth Parliament is a wonderful, unique
chance to meet new people, learn new things and improve our country in the best
ways possible for the younger generation and our future.
If I was voted in, I would use
online surveys and questionnaires to allow young people to give their feedback,
and most importantly express their opinions. I will consult young people from
all backgrounds through a variety of platforms and hold meetings in their
communities to enable my peers to have their voices heard.
Whether they are privileged or
underprivileged, male or female, 11 or 17, their lives are significant and
shall be my focus.
Pick me to cater to all.
Pick me to give the voiceless a
voice.
Pick me to represent you.
