| Description |
Andrea Ramos Campos (b. 1995) moved to south Florida from Peru when she was 6 years old. Her family moved due to racial challenges for her Black and White parents in Peru and for more opportunities for Andrea and her sibling. Andrea recounts growing up with a very loving family, a vibrant community, and a love for nature. Andrea enjoyed dance, including salsa, Afro-Peruvian music - festejo, color guard in high school, and eventually fire bending with a staff. Andrea discusses her first visit to the mountains and first climbing experience in Big Cottonwood Canyon. In 2016, Andrea moved to Salt Lake City and started climbing more with her roommates and overcoming financial barriers of the sport. Andrea then discusses her community organizing and leadership with Color the Wasatch, Salt Lake Area Queer Climbers, and Salt Lake Climbers Alliance. Andrea owns her own business, Lovin' Coven, a trauma-informed yoga practice and podcast. |
