“There are lots of old wives’ tales to dispel (on cannabis),” Chen said. “My mom’s first thought when she heard (about Potli) was ‘Oh, my god, my daughter’s a drug dealer.’” 

Richard Castrillon, director of the North Berkeley Senior Center, said he believed it was very important to show that the event was open to anyone, making this idea clear with the “Come as You Are” theme. The event this year saw the participation of seniors and young people alike who are part of the LGBTQ+ community or who wanted to celebrate Pride with the community.

In an interview with The Daily Californian, cast member and former Daily Californian assistant social media editor Zahira Chaudhry described the experience as being “a very physical manifestation of what it feels like to be heard and respected and understood.”

The talk, aptly titled “Rangers of the Lost Art: WPA Posters of the National Parks,” was hosted by Leen himself, who has spent much of the last 40 years in pursuit of recovering and restoring the 14 posters.
