The Cannabis Industry Isn’t An Immediate Cash-Out Game

It’s safe to say that most of the cannabis spaces that have opened up since its legalization are lacking two things: Melanin and patience. Conferences, VC funders, promoted businesses are all unequivocally white while Black cannabis entrepreneurs have been pushed aside. There are also a lot of people who think they’ll strike gold from the jump when they come into the cannabis business. WRONG. Enter tech, advertising, and business savant, Mary Pryor and CANNACLUSIVE - the cannabis imagery and education platform she founded with business partners Tonya Rapley and Charlese Antoinette. After experiencing the chronic and debilitating pain of autoimmune disease, Mary took her ingenuity, passion for uplifting her community, and her real lived experiences and channeled them into not just a digital platform but a movement to make the cannabis space more inclusive and accessible.
