I'm grateful to be recognized by the Baltimore Sun as one of 25 Black Marylanders to watch in 2024. I created the Black Canni as a platform to address inequity in the cannabis industry. This platform is about more than "weed." Black people have been disproportionately impacted and incarcerated due to the war on drugs. Cannabis is a multi-billion dollar industry, with Blacks representing less than 2 percent of operating legal businesses. We are seeking feedback from the community about how we can support access to business, healing and cultivation. Please share our survey" https://lnkd.in/dx_HCR59 https://lnkd.in/dGqDver6 "Maurissa Stone Organizer, The Black Canni Maurissa Stone got into her line of work “as a result of a painful problem.” Stone, who has worked in community development, non-profit management and consulting, saw racism embedded in policies and practices throughout workplaces and organizations, meaning “your ability to survive as a Black person has less to do with what you’re bringing to the table and more to do with your ability to negotiate the culture.” Seeking solutions, she started Living Well Center, now at Baltimore Unity Hall on Eutaw Place, as director of innovation. It started in Remington in 2009 “to house a community that’s focused on addressing harm and healing for Black people.” In October, hoping to broaden access to Maryland’s legalized recreational cannabis industry and as a healing tool, she launched the Black Canni conference of pharmacists, growers, and business and legal experts. “There’s a stigma attached to cannabis. But cannabis today is not the scary dude on the corner anymore.” Stone, who offers DEI consulting through Iona Concepts, hopes to spread a Black Canni movement beyond Baltimore. “My work is rooted in liberation for Black people.” — Lorraine Mirabella
