Terrones is an entrepreneur and interdisciplinary professional specializing in psychology and outdoor experiential research; mental and behavioral health; and critical and psychoanalytical film/media theory.

Alex is an
environmental, health, and safety professional who operates and owns an
electronic recycling facility in Seattle that assists residents, medical
facilities, schools, and businesses with their electronic waste. As someone who
cares deeply about the environment and how this waste disrupts disadvantaged
communities locally and globally, he works hard to ensure that products are
refurbished and reused responsibly while expanding the accessibility of
technology for his customers around the world.
Alex was born and raised in Chicago and was fortunate to live, learn, and grow in a very multicultural environment. However, it took moving out of Chicago and living across the United States for him to realize how his biases and privileges affected his worldview, including how the world viewed an “uneducated” Latino male looking to strive in a professional setting. His passion at a young age for tinkering with electronics and digital media allowed him to build a diverse skill set and a unique problem-solving mentality that would empower him throughout his life.
As someone who desires
to leave a positive legacy and affect change in local and global communities, Alex was ecstatic to lend his abilities to help INTERTWINED with its mission to
foster and expand conversations of intersectionality to a wide and varied
audience. Especially to those who would not normally be “welcomed at the
table”.

Santos is a visual artist specializing in global mood and travel art – specifically moving and still image – with an analytical and intersectional lens.
Born in Mexico and raised in Chicago from the age of one, Santos has straddled biculturalism from an early age and witnessed the evolution of wokeness in the States as it relates to diversity, intersectionality and social justice – both its strengths and pitfalls.
INTERTWINED’s mission to highlight underrepresented voices from historically marginalized and under-resourced regions in the world attracted Santos to the documentary project as it resonates with her love for global diversity, equity and cultural exchange. She has enjoyed capturing location stills and feels honored to have been welcomed into people’s lives to capture glimpses of their personal stories with an intersectional lens.
Currently our volunteer team has worked arduously on INTERTWINED from personal commitment and resonance to the mission of highlighting underrepresented voices from under-resourced regions. Consider becoming a patron to help us continue our mission.
