Background

About Sonia Ben

I’m passionate about uncovering unique, untold stories and amplifying underrepresented voices through journalism. My work is driven by a deep curiosity for diverse cultures, social justice, and Indigenous issues, shaped by my experiences in Latin America and beyond. With experience as a social media coordinator in Montreal’s food industry and a freelance journalist travelling across Europe and Latin America, I’ve mastered the art of storytelling in three languages (English, French, Spanish). I merge investigative research, documentary-style storytelling, and digital content creation to craft narratives that inform, inspire, and challenge perspectives. Whether through video, long-form articles, or social media content, my goal is to bring hidden stories to the forefront and highlight the wisdom found in different cultures. Areas of focus: Underrepresented communities & social justice First Nations stories Unique cultural narratives & traditions Migration & displaced communities Human stories that shift perspectives Sustainable living Documentary-style storytelling Currently, I’m looking to expand my work in documentary journalism and digital storytelling, collaborating with media outlets and organisations that value authentic and impactful narratives. Let’s connect!
