Event Details
Growing up in a “border town” , Mario Ceballos has been forced to navigate two different worlds. With family on both sides of the border, they have first hand experiences of the devastating effects of colonization and the re-traumatization of an increasingly militarized border. In an attempt to mitigate appropriation of traditional medicine and to increase access and representation for people of color, Mario created the POC Fungi Community. Mario advocates for all marginalized people and looks to indigenous ways and models for organizing community and cultivating resilience.
Mario Ceballos is a Chicanx from Kumeyaay territory also known as San Diego, CA. Mario is the founder of the POC Fungi Community.
