I have always had a passion for current affairs and politics. This passion led me to pursue a university degree in Politics and I enjoyed serving as President of my university's Student Union. But what I have always enjoyed most is activism and campaigning on social, political and environmental issues.

One of the issues I feel most passionate about is anti-racism. So when this summer I went to the annual Rise music festival in London -which always had anti-racism as it's main theme. I was very disappointed to learn that the emphasis of the festival this year was on cultural diversity and not anti-racism. Nothing wrong of course per se with cultural diversity, but stripped from its anti-racism message, this unique music festival had become just like any other music festival.

The nature of the festival was result of the election of the new London Mayor, Boris Johnson, who had his own reasons for the change. Nevertheless many found his decision baffling. So walking among the festival and taking pictures, I was very happy to find a group of people dancing under a homemade placard which read "Still Rising Agains Racism". It is a simple picture - but it is a picture I am proud of - and it is the best picture I took that day.
