I am Elissa, a 22-year-old trainee journalist at Cardiff University, following a PPA accredited course in Magazine Journalism. I am half-French, half-Lebanese and I have lived in both these countries as well as in the UK and the UAE. I am passionate about cinema, literature, LGBT and race issues as well as Lebanese food (and its ongoing revolution!).
