3 claimedI will run an exclusive blog for the duration of my degree which will highlight all the struggles I face (two years). I'll be publishing easily digestible summaries of all the essays I write (there should be between one and two per week), discussions about ideas I am introduced to, debates I have or witness, ideas I pick up from lectures, thought-provoking quotes I find, and anything else I think you'll find interesting, educational or entertaining. Moreover, you will get the real insight into what it means to be broke, black and trans at Oxford. The blog will be not be searchable via Google, and will only be available to donors.
0 claimedYou will have access to the exclusive blog, plus a handmade badge (made by me of course) using sustainable materials. This will be an exclusive piece of art and will centre around a political theme or issue I am passionate about from issues of race to questions of sexuality, from EU politics to environmental issues. The badges will be lighthearted and fun.
1 claimedALL of the above, plus you will be invited to the PRIVATE VIDEO BLOG, documenting how it all goes down including those I challenge head-on. It's Zu Barbie versus the Conservative-club - LIVE. (starting from Nov 2014). And receive, via email, a picture of me in a parking lot, holding a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice (OK, it'll be organic), taken on the day that I finish my final exam, with an accompanying thank-you message. I will be wearing a handmade art piece comprising pictures and names of children killed in Gaza to remind you all that this donation page was created on 25 July 2014, the day after Israel massacred children in Gaza and enacted a genocide on the Palestinian people. Because some people were not given the right to live and obtain an education.
1 claimedto receive ALL of the above, plus a progress report at the end of each term, to let you know how things are going and what plans are emerging over the horizon.
0 claimedFor every £100, I will donate 10 paper roses to another struggling Oxford student who I find on another course, also from a working class background. I will surprise them in September 2015, at the start of the new academic year with their bunch of paper roses. You will receive a report and photographic evidence. I will also film the moment I hand over the paper roses. PLUS receive a hand-written thank-you message on an Oxford postcard. Except these won't be any old postcards - I will handmake them myself using my own photos depicting the "real" Oxford.
0 claimedFor every £250, I will donate 25 paper roses to another Master's Degree applicant/candidate from an ethnic minority AND sexuality/gender minority from East London. I went to Craven Park Primary school, Hackney, so East London has a very special place in my heart. The paper roses will be given to them at the start of the the 2016/17 academic year. You will receive a report and photographic evidence.
0 claimedFor every £500, I will donate 50 paper roses to one Palestinian teenager about to embark on a period of study at the University of Oxford. This will be for the undergraduate intake of 2016/17. I will work with charities, NGOs and other organisations so we can identify one Palestinian student coming to Oxford and see how best and when to donate my paper roses. You will receive a report and photographic evidence.
0 claimedALL OF THE ABOVE, with me giving an equal numbers of paper roses to each of the students 1] The current 2014/15 Oxford student who will recieve 15 paper roses 2] The East London ethnic and sexuality minority student who will receive 30 paper roses 3] The Palestinian student, who will receive 55 paper roses. Plus I will make you a private youtube video message thanking you personally, and you will get in-depth reports about how all is progressing. You will receive a report and photographic evidence. --PLUS-- you will get a hard bound copy of my final THESIS. Finally, I will make you an abstract oil-painted canvas. Each canvas will be different and can be kept as a memento of the project you have funded and the experience you have been a part of.
