Jo'el Adifon
Bio: Jo’el Adifon is a blerd, neo-griot, and taumaturgo-in-training. His high jinks frequently involve the likes of saints and miracles, anime and comic book superpowers, and Black Joy that can literally fly.
Drawing from his Italian origins and West African roots, Jo’el blends his extensive and eclectic studies (including a Columbia University MA in Clinical Psychology) with lifelong immersion in the supernatural.
The 2021 winner of the IONS Consciousness in Action Award, Jo’el boldly explores the childlike fusion of real magic and performance art, the suspension of disbelief, the alignment of Grace and Luck, and the proximal power to make things real.
