Growing up I have always been around people who use psychedelics as a cultural practice. My mother’s from the Shan ethnic group in Myanmar that lives in the northern mountain regions of Myanmar and they have a rich history of using psilocybin mushrooms. Mental health issues has always been a part of my life and recently there seems to be a trend of psychedelic usage. I put two and two together and decided on this topic. My approach to this project has always been something around raising awareness and reducing the stigma but I did not want to go anywhere near advocacy so I decided on a podcast that would deliver my message in a casual tone. An example of creativity and innovation I could bring to the podcast is skype interviewing an advocate and putting the conversation into the podcast. The next steps I must take are research, construct the podcast, write script, do the podcast and finish editing it.
