A Public Health Story with a Snoop Dogg Cameo & a Mansion of 12 Strangers
byPHI Media

A cannabis conference. A front-row seat she wasn't supposed to have. A question to Snoop Dogg about racial justice in cannabis legislation that she absolutely was not going to leave unasked. In this episode of a 4-part series in collaboration between Public Health Insight Podcast and Public Health Is Dead, Gordon Thane rewinds to the early beginnings of Daniella Barreto's story, which includes a childhood in Zimbabwe, a mother who made immunology a dinner-table subject, immigration to Vancouver, HIV research, and the discovery that audio storytelling was her medium, inspired by a Big Brother-style experience.
