Julian Fontaine Fox is a queer bi-racial poet and writer, awarded a Source Foundation grant for his impactful work in the psychedelic space. After a transformative psychedelic experience at 19, he dedicated himself to advocacy, first founding a chapter of SSDP while studying film in Santa Fe. Now living in Boston, Julian co-founded the Entheogen Melanin Collective, aimed at fostering inclusivity for melanated peoples in the psychedelic community, which often lacks diversity. Through EMC, he creates safe spaces for community members in Boston's neighborhoods, hosting events focused on healing, integration, and education. Julian believes in the power of psychedelics while recognizing they aren’t for everyone, promoting alternative healing modalities to ensure that all voices are welcomed and valued in this journey.
