Darshan Elena Campos, PhD (they/elle/twospirit), is a transfeminist Boricua seedkeeper. Born in the diaspora on ancestral Ohlone territory, she returned to Borikén in 2018 to help grow food, housing options, and brave beloved communities for survivors of violence. She holds a PhD from the University of California at Santa Cruz’s History of Consciousness Department (2006) and was named a Fulbright Specialist in Education in 2014. Her academic background is in community education and grassroots social movements with a focus on trauma survivors. A survivor of violence, she has spent time living underground and more than three months living in safe homes for survivors of intimate partner violence. Currently, she’s leading “Somos Semillas Antillanas,” a community seedbank and gardeners’ collective specializing in ancestral and heirloom seeds in Cabo Rojo, Borikén, Puerto Rico. She also grows Indigenous Caribbean trees through “Vivero Sin Nombre,” which is dedicated to honoring her and others’ ancestors whose lives, names, and botanical knowledge were stolen by conquest, slavery, and settler colonialism. In addition to keeping seeds and growing trees, she’s helping to nourish a network of individuals and community organizations to create a social innovation and community resilience center that helps displaced queer, nonbinary, twospirit, and trans youth of the Indigenous Black Caribbean find housing and step into positions of community leadership on their island’s west.
