SUZY MONZER

Suzy Monzer is a journalist, poet and human rights advocate who works as the Growth and Partnerships manager at Media Diversity Australia. Having graduated a combined Bachelor of Communications (journalism) and Bachelor of Law degree at the University of Technology, Sydney, she took all she learnt with her into the media space, working in the newsrooms of Nine, SBS and Central Coast News. She is a daughter of Lebanese migrants, currently living on Darkinjung land, who believes that diversity is the future, an open door to racial and Indigenous justice.

During her time at university Suzy held the position of Ethnocultural Officer at UTS and the President of UTS Students for Humanity, a society that aims to mobilise students in action against injustice and raise awareness of human rights abuses and inequality of all forms. She also carries her interest in these themes across into her broader advocacy and her art, participating in panels organised by UN Youth, Central Coast Environment Network and Anti-racism organisations at UTS, and writing poetry about identity, racism and inequality.
