Celia Alario is a media and communications strategist. She cavorts with social issue documentarians, artists, and grassroots community organizers who share her love for social justice, planetary healing, and cultural transformation. She sustains her activism through an alchemic mix of yoga, hula hooping, and practicing the art of nonattachment. Bred by New Yorkers and raised in Los Angeles, she now chases her poodle across the majestic redrock landscapes of Southeastern Utah.
