Operating On High

April is Black Women's History Month and we are starting strong by focusing on protecting Black girlhood. Black women are constantly under attack, and it begins before we even reach adulthood. In this episode, I chat about growing up as a protected Black girl and how it shaped me to be the woman I am today. And yes, half this conversation is about the Cheetah Girls

Cannabis justice is a multi-layered conversation and it begins by determining what's equitable. I sat down with my good sis, Jocelin, to discuss what she's recognized as a Black woman during her time in the cannabis industry. As with any conversation with friends over blunt, we dug deep and had a lot of laughs.

Finally got the opportunity to sit down with my older brother to talk about his past with cannabis use. Though we grew up in the same house with the same parents, we still had different journeys when it came to cannabis. We shared a lot laughs and even more wisdom. Thanks for coming on the podcast and being vulnerable brodie <3

Spoiler Alert: the negative sentiments you have around cannabis are because a group of white men was trying to line their pockets. This episode takes a deep dive into the greed and racism have shaped not only American views, but policies regarding cannabis.

Not directly about cannabis, but still an important episode. Libraries offer a wealth of resources and are a safe space for everyone. Since this is a community and education-driven podcast, I had to put y'all on to what's lit at the library. And I enjoyed vibing at the beginning. I PROMISE the next episode will be directly about cannabis lmao, but please get a library card!
