About the author

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.
