Thank you to our departmental and directorate staff, for whom we are grateful for stewarding us through our degrees with patience and devotion. Thank you as well to the unique characters of Soas who serve us food, books and of course gossip. Last and foremost, a million times thank you to our parents, carers and family above all, to our friends, lovers, partners. Forgive us for our impatience and disobedience and other faults, yet recognise how we have struggled. We love you and couldn't have done it without you. I was a graduate myself back in 2015 at a different university. There I'd experienced the worlds of the classroom and the worlds of civic life to be distinctly separate. I did thrive in that environment too, doing theatre, opening my mind with critical theory and East Asian writings, and involving myself in organising for the Palestinian course. But my friends and I hit ceilings left, right and centre and felt continually frustrated. I first came to Soas years ago looking for Mahmood Diwet in the library and made more trips to attend a decolonising our mind's student event and spoken word. I found then and still find now Soas's public lectures so rich if they do not go against the grain of much of the Euro-centric teachings many of us have been subjected to and subjects of at some stage, then their audiences would soon rectify that. With a high percentage of international and BAME staff and students as compared to home and white students, and given Soas's colonial history, studying humanity that Soas is pertinent and layered. As a working class British East Asian daughter of migrants from Hong Kong and Malaysia, Soas has been invaluable to me for furthering my community work. Here we have the most active and smart student societies and organisers in the UK, so I believe that other Soasians also feel the same. It is no accident that many pioneers in our community have passed through these doors. This is not to fall into the trap of remandering Soas either. It has unfortunately become a refrain among students to say, bring back the A in school of Oriental and African Studies. Let us also renew our chance for dismantling the O in Soas. This place is one where colonising and colonised forces come together to do battle. Here we fight battles internal, calling the government and other universities and ourselves to account on the BAME attainment gap, shifting the conversations on decolonising, standing up to fascism and elected fascists on campus. These are microcosms of larger battles out there to be won. Foremost among our challenges ahead are concertedly tackling the climate emergency. And redressing poverty and a world system which leaves people around the world in slavery, detention facilities, reeducation camps and forced labour. It is all too easy to turn away. But that is where self-care and care of your close ones is especially important, as well as appreciation and affirmation of each other's histories. Class of 2019, as you venture forward from these shores, you have more than anything a responsibility to shape this world into a better one. In a world with such unprecedented global challenges, we must rise to the occasion. So tell the stories that only you can tell, that the world needs to hear. Listen and be open, not set in your ways. Keep imagining and working towards goals that will benefit humanity. Stay true to yourself and your principles. Do not run away, stand up again every time that you fall. To echo the poet Constantine Cavafie, remember how you were loved here. Know that you have contributed to enlarging not only Sirius's memory of the past and plans for the future, but humanities. I wish you all great things, that you will be happy and in global conversation with each other and the world. The world had better watch out. Thank you.
