Paving the Way: Black Women and Queer Representation in Cannabis
In episode 11 of the Cannaqueerious podcast, hosts Dr. Dee and Bri Bri explore the challenges and experiences of being black, queer, and a woman in the cannabis industry. The episode delves into societal stereotypes, particularly the 'angry black woman' trope, and the intersectionality of race and gender in professional and educational settings. The hosts share personal stories and discuss the significant lack of representation, citing that only 1.5% of cannabis businesses are black-owned. They emphasize the importance of reparation, full federal legalization, and community support, highlighting black and queer business leaders and advocacy organizations. The episode concludes with practical advice on how listeners can educate themselves and get involved in promoting equality and representation in the cannabis space.
