]]> 273 no 35: Overcoming Systemic Barriers in Cannabis: Jeannette Ward’s Fight for Justice in Legalization & Racial Equity In this episode, Amber is joined by Jeannette Ward, the Co-Founder and CEO of NuProject, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people-of-color entrepreneurs in the legal cannabis industry by providing financial assistance.  Jeannette sheds light on the deep-rooted inequities within the cannabis industry, particularly affecting black and brown-owned businesses. She discusses the high costs and significant barriers to entry, including exorbitant licensing fees and the lack of access to banking services, which make it difficult for marginalized communities to thrive.  Their conversation also delves into the critical need for legalization and the allocation of cannabis tax revenues toward reparations, using examples from states like Illinois and New York to illustrate how these funds can address systemic underinvestment in black communities. She also highlights the ongoing impact of cannabis criminalization on black communities and advocates for greater involvement in organizations like the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) and Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) to push for racial equity in cannabis legislation.  Tune in with Amber and Jeannette for an insightful conversation on navigating the cannabis business landscape. KEY POINTS: - Jeannette’s career journey to NuProject  - On leading a business in the cannabis industry  - Factors to consider: right investors, state, and regulations - Challenges faced by black-owned businesses - The potential for federal legalization for cannabis businesses - The importance of giving people of color access to licenses  - Cannabis criminalization and its impact on black communities - How getting involved supports racial equity in cannabis policy - Examples of states and the role of cannabis taxes in reparations - How cannabis tax revenue can address underinvestment in black communities - What privilege does Jeannette refuse to be guilty about? QUOTABLES: “There's so many layers that cannabis criminalization has woven for black communities. [It] is such a central part of policing and how the system has continued and how much money the system makes — 43% of drug arrests — or cannabis arrests.” – Jeannette Ward “When we're doing our underwriting, our evaluation is based on character, on future business projections, [and] not based on your credit score or how much cash you can bring to the table. Eventually, any bank on the corner will lend to a cannabis business, but what banks aren't figuring out is how to lend to black people [or] how to lend women – [which are] we're working on.” – Jeannette Ward RESOURCES Jeannette Ward LinkedIn | @jeannette-ward-1614ab5/  Amber Cabral  IG | @bamcabral LinkedIn | @ambercabral Facebook | @amber.cabral Twitter | @BamCabral  Watch Amber’s TED TALK episode here.

Sherrell's passion for providing equitable access to information, especially in the tech world, takes center stage in this profound discussion. She opens up about her own life's journey, growing up in a community filled with curiosity, and how a personal computer granted her access to a world of information and opportunity. Her impressive work, including founding The Plug, a valuable resource for data on black tech and business, underscores the vital importance of diverse storytelling and the urgency to move beyond deficit narratives in journalism. Sherrell's book, "Upper Hand," serves as a toolkit designed to empower individuals to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of work and technology. The conversation places a strong emphasis on the significance of sharing narratives and ensuring underserved communities are equipped with the knowledge and resources needed to thrive, reflecting Sherrell's deep commitment to creating a more inclusive world. But there's more—Sherrell offers a deeply personal and insightful conversation about her journey of reinvention and the crucial role of community. She touches on the delicate balance between perseverance and delusion and emphasizes the value of setting boundaries, even when it's challenging to say no. Throughout the conversation, she highlights the profound importance of community in grounding us and offering a profound sense of belonging. And Sherrell doesn't hold back when she mentions a privilege she steadfastly refuses to feel guilty about—her remarkable ability to confidently occupy any room she enters, a trait she attributes to her mother's influential presence. Join Amber and Sherrell for an eye-opener, providing a treasure trove of insights into personal growth, the transformative power of community, and embracing one's privileges. KEY POINTS: -Tools and insights help you understand jobs, education, and opportunities -Building meaningful relationships is vital in your supportive communities -Embrace your uniqueness as you grow -Vulnerability builds deep connections -Community plays a role in your achievements -Use privilege for positive change, not guilt -Honor support and role models who helped you shape your journey QUOTABLES: "When we think about the control of information and how the details of history and the details of covering communities whose stories don't get to be told because they're not usually the ones in power, we remove the narratives that showcase how substantial we truly are." -Sherrell Dorsey "We've neglected to understand the difference between media and journalism. There's a difference because journalism is media, but not all media is journalism." -Sherrell Dorsey "We underestimate the accountability that journalism should be having." - Sherrell Dorsey "I don't want to write a book to sound smart for other smart people.

But her evolution into a more profound form of storytelling reveals her remarkable ability to make a genuine impact on people's lives and well-being. This episode then takes a turn, shining a light on the ongoing challenges for LGBTQ communities across different U.S. cities. You'll notice disparities in legal protections and opportunities, with Atlanta emerging as a beacon of progress, while just a short 30-minute drive away in Roswell, Georgia, LGBTQ individuals continue to face significant hurdles. This chat also gets personal as we explore the daily struggles faced by gender-nonconforming individuals, from something as basic as restroom access. This recognition is what nurtures empathy and understanding for diverse perspectives, reinforcing the need for change and education to ensure equal rights and access for everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.  Get ready to journey into the world of storytelling, equity, and the transformative power of making a difference, leaving you with plenty to think about and be inspired by. KEY POINTS: -Stories have the potential to educate, inspire, and impact change -Your own experiences shape the stories you tell and how you see the world -Embrace diverse stories for your growth and inclusivity -Minor infrastructure changes can make a big difference in your life -Acknowledge your privilege, use it for good and amplify voices -Past issues persist driving you to strive for a fairer, equal society -Explore allyship, and support the LGBTQ community, small impactful actions matter  QUOTABLES: "I don't want to just be preaching to the choir."

]]> 2093 no 11: Misconceptions of Healing: Challenging the Doctor's Dilemma with Jona Genova Meet Jona Genova, a performance coach and Reiki instructor - in this episode, she And Amber Cabral are diving headfirst into the intriguing world of healing. They're going to talk about why healing should be accessible to everyone, the lack of diversity in the healing world, cultural appropriation, and why it's absolutely essential to pay respect to the origins of healing practices.  Jona's got a pretty cool journey in the healing world, and she's been doing some fascinating work with diverse communities, including NFL players. What makes her unique is her ability to sense energies that usually go unspoken, and Jona shares some good insights on how to heal those invisible wounds that we have. Inside the episode, Jona and Amber stress the importance of recognizing experiences that words can't always capture. They'll also bust a few myths about healing practices and give a shoutout to the amazing power of rest - which is especially important for folks in marginalized communities, and we'll wrap up with a conversation about privilege and how it can be the spark for some real positive changes. So, Amber and Jona as they explore the world of healing, sensitivity, and the incredible potential of privilege as a force for positive change. KEY POINTS: -Embrace your privilege and use them for good -Spotlight the power of addressing your traumas in your healing process -Sleeping less than 8 hours affects your decision-making and functioning -Reiki and meditation can help you mitigate the impact of stress -Use privilege for good and embrace your beauty to spread beauty -As a woman, boost your self-love to defy societal norms against self-praise QUOTABLES: "People feel often feel kind of safety with me, and that can't be faked." - Jona Genova "Sleep is a time of rest and repair." - Jona Genova "Black men, they don't trust the doctor because it's expensive.

And how do we achieve true equity that leads to freedom instead of merely a quota being hit? That is why in this episode, we’re going to dive into what equity really means and how it needs to show up in our spaces and communities. Join Ifeoma as she makes the clear distinction between equity and DEI, shows us the current climate of equity through her unique lens as a Black woman, and reveals the biggest problem with the equity space right now (and what we can do to solve it!)  It’s time we understood the privilege we’ve been given to really bring equity into life for ourselves and those around us. Tune in to this conversation and discover The True Meaning of Equity with Ifeoma Ike and Amber Cabral today!    KEY POINTS  - The difference between equity and DEI - Where does equity education begin and who does the responsibility of equity education fall on? - How do we ensure that equity will lead to freedom? - The future of equity and AI in employment  - Navigating moments when privilege and equity collide  - Dissecting the fear behind equity chats among POC communities  - Ifeoma’s upcoming book The Equity Mindset book - launching September 2023! - The one privilege Ifeoma refuses to feel guilty about  QUOTABLES “The reward for equity is more equity.” - Ifeoma Ike  “I come into equity work, not from a perspective of looking at it as a workplace issue.

From education to politics to entertainment media, equity has become a buzzword in many spaces lately, but what does it actually mean? And how do we achieve true equity that leads to freedom instead of merely a quota being hit?

That is why in this episode, we’re going to dive into what equity really means and how it needs to show up in our spaces and communities. Join Ifeoma as she makes the clear distinction between equity and DEI, shows us the current climate of equity through her unique lens as a Black woman, and reveals the biggest problem with the equity space right now (and what we can do to solve it!) 

It’s time we understood the privilege we’ve been given to really bring equity into life for ourselves and those around us. Tune in to this conversation and discover The True Meaning of Equity with Ifeoma Ike and Amber Cabral today!
