Growing up in a bi-lingual household instilled in Lidia a love of languages and culture, so at University she decided to study Spanish, German and French. Since then, she has lived in London, Miami, Berlin and Casablanca and has a range of work experience in many different areas. Lidia has travelled around Morocco visiting women's collectives and witnessed the life-changing impact of solidarity on disabled and other disadvantaged women. At the school where Lidia worked as a teacher in Berlin, she was a member of the collegial anti-racism team, regularly meeting with 3 other female colleagues to discuss and tackle discrimination in the workplace. As a feminist, and a sexual assault survivor herself, the camaraderie she finds in giving and receiving support from others is invaluable, and she strives to provide support whenever and wherever she can.
