Introduction & Guest BackgroundHosts CannaDave, Groovee, and Summer Sky welcome their special guest, Jess Jackson, a leader in cannabis advocacy, social equity, and entrepreneurship. Jess has worked on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives for over 20 years and is the founder of Copper House, a cannabis-friendly Bed & Breakfast in Detroit. The discussion covers Jess's journey into the cannabis industry, her social equity work, the Minnesota and Michigan markets, and mental health in entrepreneurship.Jess Jackson's Journey into Cannabis first became interested in cannabis through a sorority sister in LA who launched a luxury cannabis accessories brand. While working on her MBA, she realized that the cannabis industry had significant economic opportunities, yet those most affected by prohibition were often locked out of the legal market.This inspired her to advocate for equitable access to the industry, leading her to return to Michigan and start hosting cannabis-related education and community events. She quickly recognized barriers preventing marginalized communities from entering the industry, such as:Lack of business educationExpensive licensing & compliance requirementsStigma against cannabis useCreating Copper House & Community-Driven Cannabis Spaces Jess launched Copper House in 2019 as a Bud & Breakfast in Detroit. The goal was to create a safe space for cannabis consumption in a market where most hotels and rentals prohibited use. Key phases of Copper House:Initially, an Airbnb model, allowed visitors to consume in a judgment-free environment.Expanded to host infused dinners, community events, and education programs.Shifted during COVID-19 to outdoor gatherings and advocacy work.Now operates as a long-term rental space for individuals in need of affordable housing.Jess also discusses the economic realities of running a cannabis-adjacent business, explaining that:27% of cannabis businesses are profitable, with even lower success rates in Michigan due to price compression.The cost of licensing, real estate, and legal compliance is too high for many entrepreneurs.She chose community-driven business models to remain sustainable.Mental Health, Self-Care & Publishing Her BookJess shares her journey with mental health, discussing how she:Wrote the book Sis, Your Copper: An Alchemy to Shine to help others navigate challenges.Struggled with depression and anxiety, especially after losing her job, gaining weight, and facing personal setbacks.Ended up in a psychiatric ward for 10 days after experiencing severe suicidal ideation.Her book focuses on resilience, self-care rituals, and finding balance in an unpredictable world. She emphasizes the importance of:Daily habits like journaling, therapy, and mindfulness.Reconnecting with community and personal passions.Breaking the stigma around mental health in the cannabis industry.Minnesota vs. Michigan Cannabis MarketJess breaks down the differences between the two states' cannabis markets:✔ Minnesota's “Craft Cannabis” Model:Limited large-scale cultivation (Max 15,000 plants per license) vs. Michigan's high-volume licenses.Strict regulations prevent vertical integration, meaning growers can't own retail stores.Low-dose THC beverages are widely available in bars, restaurants, and even salons.✔ Michigan's Oversaturated Market:Large-scale production has led to price crashes (pounds selling for $300).Heavy competition makes it difficult for small businesses to survive.Many Black entrepreneurs struggle to gain ownership (only 2% of businesses are Black-owned).Social Equity, Tribal Cannabis Markets & The Future Jess discusses the impact of social equity programs and tribal sovereignty in cannabis:Tribal-owned cannabis businesses have a first-to-market advantage in Minnesota.The state is negotiating compacts to allow tribal growers to supply legal dispensaries.The importance of partnerships and coalitions to create a more inclusive industry.She also highlights barriers to entry for social equity applicants, such as:Legal battles delaying program rollouts.Difficult compliance requirements that favor well-funded corporations.Consumption Lounges, Cooperative Housing & The Future of Copper House shares her future business vision, which includes:Developing cannabis-friendly cooperative housing.Creating a farm-based Bud & Breakfast with event spaces for weddings and retreats.Advocating for consumption lounges and more public cannabis spaces.Final Thoughts & The “Ganja Genie” Question If Jess could change one thing about the cannabis industry, she would:Increase Black ownership and equity in the market.Ensure the communities most harmed by prohibition benefit from legalization.She ends by shouting out key mentors and partners who have supported her in the industry.

OPB’s partner station, KMHD Jazz Radio, has been celebrating its 40th birthday this year. So we’re using the milestone of this anniversary to look back at Portland’s birth and evolution as a jazz town.   When you think of jazz, perhaps its birthplace, New Orleans, or New York City first come to mind. But Portland’s been attracting jazz stars and fostering local jazz talent for practically a century, and is home today to a vibrant local scene that’s expanded beyond the boundaries of traditional jazz. We explore the history of the genre’s golden era in Portland, when the jazz scene thrived on North Williams Avenue in the city’s Albina neighborhood. Albina’s music scene later evolved to include soul, funk and R&B in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Many Black-owned jazz and soul clubs in Albina didn’t outlast destructive “urban renewal” projects that hit the historically Black neighborhood hard. But continued investment in the jazz scene by local musicians like Mel Brown has helped rebuild it to what it is now.   We also hear from beloved longtime KMHD DJ and host, Ted Smith, also known to listeners as “The Baby Boomer,” about the station’s ethos of “jazz without boundaries,” what he hopes to provide to listeners of his show, “The Soulful Strut,” and what he sees in Portland’s jazz scene today.   For more Evergreen episodes and to share your voice with us, visit our showpage.

Join Kim, Marquia, and Ednesha as they explore the importance of choosing oneself, particularly for Black women who often prioritize the needs of others. They discuss cultural conditioning that leads to self-sacrifice, the consequences of neglecting personal well-being, and the necessity of self-love and preservation. They emphasize the need for Black women to reclaim their time and energy, advocating for a shift in mindset that prioritizes individual needs alongside community responsibilities. The hosts also explore the themes of self-sacrifice, the importance of self-care, and the hard lessons learned when choosing oneself. Keywords: healing, self-care, mental health, Black women, self-love, cultural conditioning, personal growth, emotional well-being, self-preservation, community support, self-care, mental health, relationships, personal growth, education, boundaries, emotional labor, self-reflection, toxic relationships, empowerment Takeaways Choosing yourself is essential for your well-being. Black women often feel overwhelmed and exhausted from self-sacrifice. Cultural conditioning teaches us to prioritize others over ourselves. Self-love and self-preservation are not selfish acts. Many Black women are conditioned to be caretakers from a young age. The strong Black woman trope can be detrimental to mental health. It's important to articulate gratitude and reflect on personal growth. Consequences of not choosing oneself can lead to depression and anxiety. Finding your voice in family dynamics is crucial for self-care. Reclaiming time and energy is a radical act of self-love. Sacrificing oneself for others can lead to emotional and mental health issues. Choosing yourself is essential for personal growth and well-being. Setting boundaries is crucial in maintaining healthy relationships. Self-reflection helps in understanding personal needs and desires. It's important to recognize toxic patterns in relationships. People may react negatively when you prioritize yourself. Time lost in unhealthy relationships cannot be regained. Grace and compassion towards oneself are necessary during the healing process. Listening to your body is key to self-care. Creating a support system can aid in making difficult choices.

Here's what you can expect in this episode: Mindful Moment: Recovery Ray introduces the balance breathing practice, guiding listeners through a six-second inhale and exhale sequence. This practice aims to activate a balanced state by maintaining equal breathing times, and fostering calmness and focused attention. Listeners are encouraged to bring their awareness back to their breathing with compassion whenever distractions occur. Ray also offers some insights on hydration and its role in our well-being. He prompts listeners to assess their water intake and understand the symptoms of dehydration, such as irritability, confusion, and anxiety. Mindful Reflection: Today's question is: "What is one area where I feel I could improve, and what specific steps can I take to address this?" Listeners are encouraged to create a clear vision of the desired outcome from improving an area of their life and then reverse-engineering the necessary habits to achieve it. Whether focusing on mental health through improved sleep habits or other areas, the goal is to envision a better quality of life and take actionable steps toward personal growth and wellness. Affirmation: "I embrace my emotions fully, knowing they are a natural part of my human experience." This affirmation encourages listeners to accept and embrace their emotions, recognizing them as integral to the human experience. By acknowledging all feelings as natural, individuals can cultivate a healthier emotional state and contribute to their overall mental wellness. Featured Article: The episode explores the serious issue of skin cancer disparities among Black folks, addressing why this group is disproportionately affected by late diagnoses and lower survival rates. It explores the lack of training in recognizing skin cancer in darker skin tones and the need for increased awareness and education both in the medical community and the public. This segment aims to spark further discussion and action towards reducing these disparities and improving health outcomes for Black patients.

President Putin has ordered nuclear drills as NATO threatens World War 3 on Russia's border.

Dr Boyce Watkins explains the economic struggles of the black male in America.

The year 2020 will forever be etched in the minds of those who lived to tell the tale. Oh, the stories we will tell. The smoke and mirrors were dispersed and the United States revealed its true self. We bore witness to Riot, after Riot, after Riot. The revolution appeared to be televised after all. But deep in our communities the true revolution was brewing. Many Black women and birthing people continued to give birth despite the headlines, the statistics, and the odds stacked against them. But they didn't just give birth; they gave birth how they wanted, where they wanted, and focused on what was most important to them. A surprise pregnancy anchored Chris and Raquel's growing family and allowed them to sway but not break during an uncertain time. Raquel entered the pregnancy unemployed due to a hiring freeze, from the shutdown, that kept her from starting her new position. Chris became the sole provider as they moved forward with the pregnancy.  The first few weeks of pregnancy brought about two different mental shifts. Anxiety filled Raquel as she continued to apply for jobs and manage the COVID-19 pandemic while pregnant. The isolation was challenging but allowed for a slower pace and opportunities to be introspective. Chris had a more challenging experience with his employer and managing how he would navigate the birth and postpartum period. He did not have paternity leave and intended to take leave without pay. The thought of it was scary as he knew he would be bucking the system. The Williams chose to keep their pregnancy to themselves aside from their parents. Their birth plans were kept under wraps and allowed them to keep out the noise, opinions, and outside stressors. Chris and Raquel chose a homebirth with a midwife and a doula. They utilized their resources and access to do it their way. Raquel dove into research on birth and parenting. Chris had the mentality of being ready when the time came. He found himself focused on trying to go against the negative stereotypes of Black fathers. Holistic care equipped Raquel with education, mental fortitude, and an understanding of what childbirth could include. When she started to feel the small ripples of early labor she contacted her birth team which included her midwife, doula, and birth photographer. Chris was spending the day attending graduation ceremonies for his students. Raquel told Chris he was fine to go and she knew it would be fine. They had a late dinner but didn't set up the birthing tub because it was too late in the day. The waves were not close enough for her to think that she was in active labor. She checked in with her midwife and she told her to use her discernment. Raquel took a Tylenol PM and they enjoyed a movie and facials until she fell asleep. Around four in the morning, Raquel stated that she had to poop. They went down together, Chris could see her from the door, and as Raquel made a maneuver he said, “I don't think that's poop.” Chris was scared that the baby had died, due to the shape and stillness of her head. Meanwhile, Raquel was in a calm, zen state as she assured Chris the baby was ok. They were able to Facetime their midwife to manage the delivery of the baby. Chris caught their baby with a nuchal cord and unwrapped it and placed the baby on Raquel's chest. The midwife entered the house shortly after. Dani and the birth photographer joined them shortly afterward for postpartum support and photography. Immediately postpartum, they walked back down the hall with their baby. The experience of having their team come to them and the care that was provided for them had them in awe. Raquel believes that everything we need to have children… we already have it. We've been having babies like this forever.

Why So Many Black Democratic Celebs Are Forced to Admit the Collapse of Society

“In the intersection of work and personal life, the work–life balance is the equilibrium between the two. There are many aspects of one's personal life that can intersect with work, including family, leisure, and health. A work–life balance is bidirectional; for instance, work can interfere with private life, and private life can interfere with work. This balance or interface can be adverse in nature (e.g., work–life conflict) or can be beneficial (e.g., work–life enrichment) in nature.[1] Recent research has shown that the work–life interface has become more boundary-less, especially for technology-enabled workers.[2][3][4][5]” -Wikipedia. "When I read Dianne M. Stewart's “Black Women, Black Love: America's War on African American Marriage,” I felt seen in her descriptions of the systemic forces working against us. Stewart lays out the issue masterfully when she says, “Most heterosexual Black women in America today, whether parenting offspring or not, are single by circumstance, not by choice.” Stewart continues, “The trouble is not with Black women failing to value marriage; it is the shrinking demographic of those whom Black women want to marry . . . In some cases, Black women lack dating prospects within their socioeconomic group, and in other cases, they don't have any dating prospects at all!” She characterizes Black women's lack of opportunities for love and marriage with Black men as “the nation's most hidden and thus neglected civil rights issue to date.” Stewart provides the historical receipts that reveal Black love as a contested site in this nation and details the way that the “war on African American marriage” was waged in the past and present." _ Ekemini Uwan. "I have always found the idea of blaming the autistic child for the deterioration of marriage unfair to autistic people. Yet, when my own marriage ended, I couldn't help but wonder if any of those ideas behind the eighty per-cent divorce rates and autism might in some way be true. A single mom of an autistic child for several years now, I've seen that when relationships fall apart, we begin by looking outside ourselves for the external causes to blame. No matter what the circumstance, illness, disability, death are the certainties of a full life. We make vows for better or for worse, even if most of us want the “better.” Frequent divorce seems to reflect the advent of the re-start button — an impatient, quickly gratified culture with many options at our fingertips, and a waning attention span. It's perhaps an unforgiving view about what as I see as the marriage du jour — the one that bypasses commitment. Even so, two people who come together with the best of intentions (or delusions), sometimes cannot endure the stress when faced with life's many challenges. This has nothing to do with autism. Consider some of our flippant views about marriage and commitment against the last decade of autism in the media. The media and many in the medical field created an environment of fascination and fear about autism. Most parents relate to the panic we felt on the day of the official autism diagnosis. We heard and read that we had a six year window in which to cure our children. That is, we were told that if our children didn't talk and lose those autism behaviors by the age of six, our children were doomed to be autistic for the rest of their lives. With such pressure, as individuals and couples, we can be extremely challenged. Coping with stress and even grief is different for all people. Press restart? It shouldn't come as a surprise, then, that autism is frequently blamed by some autism charities, and in the media, for divorce. When we blame something else other than ourselves, such as perpetuating the notion that autism is to blame, the innocent autistic child is targeted." _Estée Klar. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

The first woman of color owned venture capital firm, Fearless Fund, is stepping into Miami Federal Appeals Court Wednesday. Their mission? To challenge a court order stopping them from giving grants exclusively to women of color. This legal tussle pits Fearless Fund against the American Alliance for Equal Rights, an organization led by far-right activist Edward Bloom. Arian Simone, the co-founder and CEO of Fearless Fund, says they aren't backing down. In August of 2022, Bloom sued Fearless Fund over their grant program, saying that they were practicing reverse discrimination by excluding non-Black applicants. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta responded by hitting pause on the program until the lawsuit's conclusion. But this isn't just about this program. Many Black business leaders are worried that these legal challenges could roll back years of efforts to level the playing field. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Join Media Storm LIVE at Kings Place, London, Saturday 16th Sep, 7pm: https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/words/media-storm-2/ Last week, Media Storm made national headlines after uncovering proof that UK police recruiters were rejecting ethnic minorities at discriminatory rates. Today we ask: why? What stages of the recruitment process are causing this disparity? What social factors besides ethnicity are playing a role? We put these questions to seniors in the National Police Chiefs Council, Black Police Association and Metropolitan Police, police officers who've been through the process, and research experts. Join us for a thorough autopsy of the assessment process, a process Black applicants are 60% more likely to fail than White ones. The episode is created by Mathilda Mallinson (@mathildamall) and Helena Wadia (@helenawadia).

Many Black students live in over-policed, under-funded communities. School should be a safe space for them, a refuge from surveillance and a place to explore. But almost 70% of public high schools and middle schools have police officers on site, and Black students have contact with police more often than White students. When there's police inside the school, and police outside the school, law enforcement is a constant presence in these students' lives.  Today, we're talking to Corey Mitchell, a senior reporter at the Center for Public Integrity who co-wrote the article "When schools call police on kids." We'll hear from Dr. DeMarcus Jenkins, an assistant professor in the School of Social Policy and Practice at the University of Pennsylvania. Finally, we'll speak with Amir Whitaker, senior policy counsel with the ACLU of Southern California. Please also consider this list of resources on the topic, compiled by Subini Ancy Annamma, Ph.D: "Education and Criminalization: Do Black Lives Matter in Schools."

Many Black voters are starting to become upset with Biden and the Democrats over reparations. The US spent $2.6T during the pandemic.

Late last month, the United States Supreme Court struck down the Biden administration's student debt forgiveness program – a huge disappointment for thousands of borrowers who were hoping for some financial relief. The blow was particularly discouraging for Black borrowers, who typically hold $25k more in debt than white borrowers.

Welcome to the R.O.D Podcast, where we dive deep into important conversations surrounding the experiences of the Black community. In this era of widespread connectivity and social media platforms, it's no surprise that people turn to the internet to voice their concerns and initiate discussions on pertinent issues. Join us as we explore why Black individuals often express their grievances publicly instead of handling them privately. By shedding light on this topic, we aim to promote understanding, empathy, and progress. In today's interconnected world, the internet has become a powerful tool for amplifying marginalized voices and raising awareness about social injustices. Online platforms provide a space for individuals to express their frustrations, share experiences, and form communities of support. This collective voice can bring attention to systemic issues and inspire necessary changes. Public discussions on these platforms also foster a sense of solidarity within the Black community. By openly discussing their challenges, individuals often find comfort in knowing they are not alone in their experiences. This online dialogue serves as a catalyst for unity, encouraging individuals to share insights, offer advice, and provide emotional support to one another. Furthermore, public discourse plays a crucial role in educating the broader society about the realities faced by Black people. By sharing their stories and perspectives, individuals can challenge stereotypes, combat misinformation, and promote inclusivity. This exchange of ideas can lead to increased awareness, empathy, and a more informed society overall. While public discussions are essential, it's important to remember that private channels are equally crucial for resolving personal matters. Many Black individuals do seek out private avenues, such as direct communication, support groups, or professional help, to address their issues. Public discussions often serve as a means of drawing attention to broader social concerns, seeking collective solutions, and fostering change on a systemic level. By subscribing to our channel, you'll gain access to thought-provoking content that navigates through various topics affecting the Black community. Together, let's explore the significance of public discussions, promote understanding, and work towards a more equitable future for all. Join the conversation today!
