Faith Branch is an East Coast-based freelance writer. She began writing in college for her school’s food publication, where she combined her love for eating and pop culture. Having spent several years doing nonprofit and advocacy work, she is passionate about helping those most in need.

Hailing from upstate New York, her lifelong dream is to live in a Wegmans grocery store. In the meantime, she’s focusing on her goal of becoming a full-time writer. Faith likes to write about culture, politics, gender-based inequity, and anything else that allows her to utilize her nosiness skills.

Faith has also worked as a ghostwriter in her spare time. Most recently, she was a fact checker at The Nation where she also wrote the occasional article. When she’s not writing, you can find her camping out at the local library, reading a book in the park, or baking desserts with her favorite food: chocolate.
