Alma Samocha
Editor from Brighton, England
Hi! My name is Alma, I'm 16 and I work as a writer at Stick To Change. I was born in Israel but currently live in England, and I'm passionate about advocating for social justice and providing a platform for marginalized communities to voice their struggles - which I think is what Stick to Change accomplishes so well. Topics particularly close to my heart include eating disorder awareness, lgbtqia+ rights, antisemitism, and the Israel/Palestine conflict. Aside from writing and editing, I am a big fan of literature and music and spend a lot of my free time singing, reading, or playing the piano. I'm also somewhat addicted to Netflix.
