Samara Alima (she/her) has supported families at San Francisco Zen Center for nearly a decade. She’s currently working to complete certification as a postpartum doula and is looking forward to weaving this work into the SFZC Family Sangha offerings. Samara utilizes a liberation frame for educating outside of traditional school systems and enjoys supporting families interested in alternative education. Her work has included supporting the growth of many nonprofit and grassroots organizations, including those with missions of disrupting youth homelessness, intimate partner violence, and climate injustice.  On the weekends, you might find her investing in Indigenous farming methods or capturing the beauty of the absurd as a Bay Area photographer.
