Black Cannabis Magazine is thrilled to announce its powerful presence and participation in this year’s MJBizCon. Founded in 2011, the annual conference has grown from a grassroots movement to a professional B2B focused four-day event with 35,000+ attendees and 1400+ vendors.
On Wednesday, the 16th, MJBiz, in partnership with Black Cannabis
Magazine/BCM, presents a panel of industry pundits that will break down
the legacy to legal conversation and how BIPOC operators and industry
participants can build and grow. Haze Palmer – aka Hazey Taughtme -,
Founder of Black Cannabis Magazine, will moderate the panel to
address Building on 2%: The State of BIPOC Cannabis and the
Opportunities Ahead. Joining him are Bonita Money, Founder and
Executive Director of NDICA/National Diversity & Inclusion Cannabis Alliance, and Freeway Rick Ross, Founder at LA Kingpins. Panelists include Jamal Weathers, CEO at Kush Boys Worldwide, and LaQuita Honeysucker, Civil Rights & Community Action at UFCW, United Food & Commercial Workers International Union. The first all Black Panel will be held in South Hall Upper, 227, 2:30-3:15.
On Wednesday evening, BCM is hosting a private mixer sponsored by
Gumbo, a NY legacy brand that recently partnered with the global cannabis
brand, Cookies. “I’m proud to align with MJBiz and so many brilliant industry leaders and look forward to celebrating a bit. We’re here to educate business leaders on the power of entrepreneurship in black and browncommunities,” says Haze. “To have true social equity, you first need an equal share of voice. Social Equity is not a free ride. It’s about providing resources to members of communities who have been disproportionally impacted by the policies of cannabis prohibition. And that’s what we’re doing MJBiz!”
