José Luis Granados Ceja
José Luis Granados Ceja was born in Mexico City and spent his life migrating throughout the Americas, having lived in the United States, Brazil, Canada, and Ecuador. It was his experience as a migrant that led to his development of class consciousness at a young age. In 2005 he would travel to Venezuela to participate in the World Festival of Youth and Students, an experience that would change him forever and instill in him a passion for resisting imperialism and defending popular power. In 2018, he realized his dream of returning to Mexico as writer and photojournalist to produce stories about the people of Latin America. He is a Staff Writer with Venezuelanalysis, covering regional and international issues, and writes a monthly opinion column for the Mexico Solidarity Project. He is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in the Defense and Promotion of Human Rights at the Universidad Autónoma de la Ciudad de México.
