THE VOICE BEHIND

Raw Truth Media

Founder & Editor of Raw Truth Media

Andreea Grace

My work begins with a question: what happens when the story told about a society differs from the reality experienced by the people living in it?

I am a writer and researcher, originally from Romania and a British citizen, with a background in economics, coaching and international development. My perspective connects Jerusalem, Bucharest and London—places that have shaped my understanding of identity, opportunity, institutions and power.

Independent writing. A wider perspective.
