Welcome to a brand new episode of the ¿Quién Tú Eres? podcast, where we explore the conflict we often face between "professionalism" & being our authentic selves. This week's guest is Victor Alfonso.

Victor Alfonso Cabral, LSW (He/Him) is a collaborative and strategic Afro-Latinx leader who is committed to making an impact in his community and beyond. Victor serves as the Director of Policy and Regulatory Affairs for Fluence Training. Victor works to center BIPOC voices in the field of psychedelics by highlighting BIPOC stories in policy & advocacy efforts, art, and science. 

He is currently working on a documentary film titled We Are The Medicine which explores the re-emergence of psychedelics from the perspective of Black, Indigenous, and people of color. Victor is listed on Students for Sensible Drug Policy’s list of “40 Under 40 Outstanding BIPOC Leaders in Drug Policy in the United States” for his work in psychedelic policy and received the 2022 Emerging Social Work Leader Award from the National Association of Social Workers.

Because of Victor’s ADHD, he struggled to pay attention in class and absorb the knowledge he was reading. As he got older, he learned the tips and tricks that he needed to work the educational system and continue his education on his terms. This week on the podcast, Victor tells us how working with his diagnosis, rather than against it, encouraged him to pursue a future he’d only dreamed of.
