From Amsterdam via South Africa, ALISON RACHEL left a successful career in advertising last year to with one goal in mind: to interview other women about the ways in which they survive the world. She has published 3 Recipes for Self-Love zines since February 2017, and garnered an Instagram following of 144k followers, most of whom are between the ages of 12-21. Her mission is to education young women about their rights, feminist issues, and intersectionality, and to create a resource she could never find—a guide for self-care that goes beyond superficial consumerism and speaks to women of all body types, ethnicities, and creeds.
