The link in this project entry directs only to one of the "episodes." Producing two of these animated classes took me over 10 hours daily, but it was the best way to keep the students engaged during lockdown.

Acanmed is a pioneering initiative dedicated to providing safe and reliable access to medical cannabis for patients in need. Focused on education, research, and patient support, they work alongside healthcare professionals to ensure quality treatment options.

Their platform is an essential information hub, offering guidance on treatments, legal aspects, and the latest scientific advancements in cannabis medicine. The website was developed to streamline patient access to vital resources, consultations, and community engagement. Through this platform, they connect patients with specialists, provide educational content, and facilitate a seamless experience for those seeking cannabis-based therapies. At Acanmed, they believe in transforming lives through responsible and well-informed medical cannabis use.

Before streaming platforms existed, I made global media accessible to Brazilian fans by translating TV shows, comics, manga, and web series. My culturally adapted subtitles opened doors to obscure anime, indie comics, and canceled series without official translations. By distributing these through P2P networks like eMule and fostering forum communities, I helped cultivate early Brazilian fandoms for what are now mainstream titles.

This grassroots effort didn't just fill a gap; it pioneered transcreation techniques later adopted by the industry, shaped Brazil's media landscape, and inspired a generation of translators. At a time when much foreign content was inaccessible, fan club culture became the vital bridge between global stories and Brazilian audiences.
