Crowned winners of the Overseas Committee Basketball Tournament!!!!

Tuesday 16th November... our Head of Marketing, Rasheed lead ICACS guys and girls as the captain, taking on all the other overseas committees at Imperial in the annual OSC BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT




The excitement in Ethos was absolutely insane. The ladies played in the first game, setting the standard for ACS. Effie's glasses didn't make it out of the tournament in one piece but don't worry the president will buy you a new pair (Joram.. Make it happen!!). I'm so proud of the Freshers! They've settled into the ACS family ever so nicely!!!


Fast forward a few hours to the final.. and ACS faces the Chinese Society to win. The game was very close, both teams hustled for that title! 
At the end of the first half, the scores were tied. ACS was not messing about at all! People were getting hungry for that win. One minute before the end of the game, we were up 10-6, and it was looking good for us.


3 seconds before the buzzer: Mr Webmaster, Kem gets the ball and dribbles towards the hoop with no opposition. Like the absolute don he is, he ends the tournament so beautifully with a lay-up on the buzzer!


Okay, this isn't Kem, it's Micheal Jordan, but he was THAT serious! At this point, I could hear violins as he flew through the air in slow motion..I felt like I was watching Space Jam.


So ACS took the game, winning 12-6 :-D


Here's the winning team... it was so beautiful to see our older brothers coming to represent! Special shout out to Jimi, Iffy, John and Bolanle!!! 

And here are a few words from our captain...

Rasheed actually isn't wearing anything under that jacket, yes ladies be excited.


ACS love in massive abundance!!

A Conversation with President Obama

Imperial College is celebrating Black History Month like never before, come join us.

For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf

I'm not even a 'film person' but I wanna see this movie like right now!!



It was originally a broadway play based on a collection of poems, each written about a specific woman and an issue she is facing (from domestic violence, to rape, to abortion), where each woman is known only by her colour ie Lady in Red, Lady in Blue etc. Tyler Perry has translated the story into a film, set to be released later this year (but who knows if/when it will actually reach the UK).

Added bonus... Michael Ealy is in it

...possibly the most beautiful pair of eyes on the planet.

ICACS at Fresher's Fair

So this morning, I donned my kente shorts and ICACS t-shirt and headed to South Ken.

Not gonna lie, we were all pretty apprehensive. It would be soooo sad if we spent all summer planning events and we had nobody who wanted to sign up.

But behold!! I spent all day talking to lots of eager students who seemed genuinely interested (they may have just been good actors and actresses but nevertheless I had fun talking to them!)

So now I'm PUMPED!! This is going to be a good year by force by force!!

Back to Black week is gonna be a madness. When I see the banner go up for Theme Day I might just cry a little bit. Movie night should be cool cos I'd really like to get to know everyone better.

The Inter-university forum, "ACS Says..." is probably the one I'm most excited about. It's a completely new event that I think we be a lot of fun. The Careers Convention will be nice too cos I think it's important that ACS doesn't just feed you and make you laugh.

Chop Chop.. jollof, chicken, plantain, curry goat.. say no more.

For now, I'm going to think about all the new friends I've made and leave you with a tribute to our Ugandan brothers and sisters

ACS loveeeeeeeeeeeee
