Zahra Dalilah, Co-Founder
Zahra is a black feminist from Lewisham, South East London. She grew up believing herself Leo before being introduced to her truth as a Leo/Cancer cusp. She still calls also herself a writer no matter how sparse the writings are and still calls herself an activist although she has lost a handle on what that means. She has been involved in projects on black british fatherhood, social justice education, land distribution, food justice and anti-gentrification work in London. She also consumes overpriced coffee in recently gentrified areas more often than she would like to admit. Dreaming of a thriving independent media sector and joyful black children make her happy.
