Donny Mioskowski Cámara is a mixed-race Polish-Filipino American who lives and works as a musician in Querétaro and Mexico City, Mexico. He worked as a music director and liturgist for 19 years in Chicago and the San Francisco Bay Area in multi-cultural parishes where he was welcomed and supported as an openly gay man.
