Ruby Russell Author & Editor

Ruby Russell is a journalist, writer, editor, and single mum from London. Russell started out publishing books of photojournalism with award-winning publisher Trolley. Frustrated with the mediation of stories of injustice through the reporter's lens, she then worked on participatory projects that helped marginalised groups-from British teenage single mothers and adults with mental health challenges, to young women born and raised in refugee camps in North Africa-to tell their own stories and advocate for visibility. She has written for The Telegraph, Teller, The Guardian, and now works as a part-time environment editor at German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
