About
Story Rebels curates immersive experiences that take writers, artists, and designers away from their ordinary. Inviting creatives to retreat in beautiful spaces around the world, we go in search of human stories in magical places. Our journal features essays on travel, interviews on publishing, and tips to help you embark on more meaningful, creative journeys. Founded in February of 2018 by American writer and photographer, Malika Ali Harding, Story Rebels is headquartered in Amsterdam, but you can wander along wherever you find yourself on the map.

MEET OUR FOUNDER
Each Story Rebels experience is designed by founder, Malika Ali Harding, an American writer and photographer based in Amsterdam. At the heart of her services is a desire to guide the world’s creative class toward greater well-being. She traverses the globe making visual narratives inspired by her curiosity. When you book a retreat, you also give back to organizations fighting the epidemic of mass incarceration in the United States. Malika earned her BFA from Howard University in Washington, D.C. and an MFA in Screenwriting from the AFI Conservatory in Los Angeles. She has spent the greater part of her adult life crafting indie films, organizing art exhibitions, and raising babies.
