Djed Press is created on the colonised lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. Sovereignty has never been ceded. This land has always been, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
Ayche Allouche immigrated to Australia when she was a month old. By birth, she is a first-generation immigrant, but was raised with the mindset of a second-generation Lebanese-Australian. Not that it really matters. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Media & Communications and Islamic Studies from Melbourne University. Currently, she is undertaking an Honours year in Islamic Studies, with her thesis focusing on gendered Islamophobia. She doesn’t know what she wants to be when she grows up.
