Alice Kantor
A French features writer and editor based in London, I’m interested in pretty much everything. My passion is social justice but I mostly get paid to write about housing, finance and the lives of expats. I grew up in Paris in the 10th arrondissement with multilingual French parents, and learned English through Cartoon Networks, Friends and Sex & The City. I get a kick out of long-form stories, podcasts, videos, investigative work or anything new and challenging. I’m a staunch feminist and anti-racist and write – when I can – about sexism, Muslim and Black lives in France, the UK and around Europe.
At Berkeley, I studied multimedia news, learned to produce documentary videos and audio stories and developed web design skills. Prior to California, I studied statistics in France.
In my free time, I color, sketch, paint, sew, and pretty much play with anything that can be turned into art.
You can find my byline on the sites of BusinessWeek, Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, Politico, Al Jazeera, PRI and Open Democracy. Please DM me on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter if you’d like to hear more about my experience at Berkeley, need a mentor or want feedback on a pitch or a first draft. I’m happy to brainstorm, based on my free time.
