Aleksandra was born and raised in Macedonia, where she first became outspoken on women's issues as a girl, participating in UN-organized public panels on the status of women in Macedonia, and as an artist in a feminist graffiti group in her teens. Her passions and work today intersect environmental activism, women's liberation and storytelling for change. Her passion for politics, social entrepreneurship and communications, is only surpassed by her love for outdoor adventures. Occasionally she blogs and she tweets.
