The \u201cnarcos\u201d narrative is so popular, and so ingrained, that it\u2019s universally known. It's also really problematic, and on this episode, we'll do some digging into why. Screenwriter and director Priscila Garc\u00eda-Jacquier was born and raised in Colombia, whose economy, people, and reputation have been intimately affected by drugs. \u201cFor countries so shaped by the drug trade, whenever I read about it, it feels more like I'm doing 23andme than just like reading about history, you know?" Priscila connected with Jeannette Zanipatin, DPA\u2019s California State Director, and Alexis Martin, DPA\u2019s Development Manager, to talk about challenging the story we so often see, while also considering larger questions around cultural perspective, Latinx identity, and harmful stereotypes.    You can keep up with Priscila\u2019s work at her website, priscilagarciajacquier.com, and on her Instagram @priscilagarciajacquier and Twitter @priscilagarciaj. Her show Blindspotting is currently airing on Starz. ","author_name":"Drugs and Stuff: A Podcast from the Drug Policy Alliance","author_url":"http:\/\/www.drugpolicy.org\/","html":"
