DJ cue up “Family Affair.”

What a pleasure to see so many bright faces still radiating optimism in the shadows of a horribly unfair, unbalanced, and mismanaged industry.

Community ties remain strong and wills remain steadfast no matter the upward struggle…because this has been par for the course, no?

And yet we overcome, right?

This year’s theme could not have made it any clearer.

Rooted in Resilience
Rising in Joy
Building What’s Next

And will!

Shoutout to @drbrandihester, @munashe97, @wearedaco, and the entire @Blackcannabisweek team for combining leadership, education, community service, and love into an incredible weekend.

We couldn’t end without a fitting closing event. Special hugs and kisses for my cannabestie @theweedheadco for continuing her book tour and appearing on her @she_blaze, hosted live at @trenttownemarkey alongside her sis @cannabissocialite. I was blowing chillum (@garden.greens.nj) and digging the vibe for sure.

Much, much love to everyone that made it all work, including my amazing sisters of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. We will rest for a bit and then continue to strive and we do!
