Sussan García

Communications Manager

Sussan (any pronouns) is a Central American born and raised in historical Lenape lands, otherwise known as Jamaica, Queens in New York City. Although she did not have much access to the outdoors and its activities growing up, she grew up with the stories of the Guatemalan highlands from her mother. Sussan has been reconnecting with her ancestral lands through her family, their histories, and knowledge, shifting her relationship and understanding of “the outdoors.”

She graduated from New York University Abu Dhabi with a BA in Arab Crossroads Studies and a minor in Political Science and also has a master’s in migration studies from the University of Oxford. Sussan loves to learn about and share revolutionary histories, take care of and connect with her loved ones, walk in the sun, strength train, practice yoga, and contemplating the universe and all of its life.
