I'm not being able to use the read_file method of geopandas. below is the code and the stack trace
import geopandas as gpd
path_to_data = gpd.datasets.get_path("nybb")
gdf = gpd.read_file(path_to_data)
error trace:
ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)

ImportError: the 'read_file' function requires the 'fiona' package, but it is not installed or does not import correctly.
Importing fiona resulted in: dlopen(/Users/junaid/Desktop/Udemy_projects/multiple/lib/python3.9/site-packages/fiona/ogrext.cpython-39-darwin.so, 0x0002): Library not loaded: /opt/homebrew/opt/proj@7/lib/libproj.19.dylib
Referenced from: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/gdal/3.4.1_1/lib/libgdal.30.dylib

It looks like geopandas is referening an older version of PROJ. I used to have proj 7.2 but now have 8.2.1 installed.
Also I have the following versions of fiona and gdal fiona 1.8.19 GDAL 3.3.3
any help would be much appreciated
