Another installment in the monthly Consciously Cannabis series is here! My guest Khadijah A. Tribble explore their transition into the cannabis advocacy sphere, recounting first encounters with cannabis during college and their impactful work in the HIV community. Together, we uncover the profound implications of cannabis legalization and celebrate the remarkable contributions of marginalized groups in pushing for reform.

We discuss the systemic barriers faced by individuals with criminal backgrounds related to drug charges. With powerful stories, we highlight the long-lasting repercussions of minor drug offenses and the discriminatory hiring practices that perpetuate cycles of poverty. By examining the inequities in current marijuana laws and their disproportionate impact on communities of color, we underscore the urgent need for comprehensive federal legalization and the role of storytelling in driving policy change.

We also delve into the transformative potential of the cannabis industry through social equity initiatives. Our guest shares their experience launching Marijuana Matters and their impactful tenure at Curaleaf, where they championed social impact programs across multiple states. We emphasize the critical importance of integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion into corporate structures and discuss how the cannabis industry can catalyze social and economic change. Tune in for an insightful and motivating episode that calls for unity and strategic advocacy in shaping the future of cannabis regulation.

As I stumbled through the perils of answering the ultimate question, "what do you want to do with your life?" I knew somehow my answer would incorporate helping others. This translated into paths that, when I tuned into the universe, I realized were very connected. (Funny how that always happens!)

People are complicated, messy, and layered with identities. So is this space. I am a meditation enthusiast that sits in quietness every morning and a lover of blasting 90's hip-hop at full volume. I'm a gym rat and a yoga instructor. I am both learner and a teacher. We are all many things. Together we can make them all work.

I love to share all the things I'm learning along the way. Learning how to be your most fabulous self but being honest about how damn hard and messy it can be along the way lets you speak your truth. It allows you to best use your voice for the causes that matter to you. Let's get healthy and change the world together!
