She is also a contributing researcher and author with Cultural Survival in support of Indigenous rights. César Abadia is a Colombian activist and scholar. He is an associate professor of anthropology and human rights at the University of Connecticut.

His current collaborative research supports community-based proposals in health and wellbeing after Colombia's 2016 peace accord.
