Emma Elobeid

In her day job at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Emma writes about circular economy solutions to global challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss. She has a diverse publishing background, a Master's Degree in Journalism, and has championed the Island's creative talent as ex-Editor of Style of Wight Magazine. Following the publication of her hyperlocal investigation A Porpoise Named Peppa, she is keen to pursue more climate and coastal community journalism. 

Emma is also an emerging poet. Her first 'proper' poem – Banana Bread Economics – was published in Dublin based Not4U collective’s pandemic themed zine ‘From Home’. More recently, she collaborated with award-winning photographer Vincent Dupont-Blackshaw on 'Degrees of Separation'; a collection of interpretive haiku which weave together art, photography, and poetry. As she develops her creative practice, Emma intends to further pursue personal overlaps; from the mycorrhizas of motherhood to the connections between coast, climate, and circularity.
