Join I'm with RJ and Eaze as they host a special roundtable conversation featuring Cookies Enterprises represented by Social Impact Coordinador, Richard Ng and of Cookies Massachusetts and Green Soul Organics, Taba Moses.

This conversation also features all 3 of the Q1 2021 QPD Presenting Companies including Dreamt by Ciencia Labs, Mae Delivery by Community Gardens and Breeze Distro.

Digging into the importance of having a seat at the table, Taba Moses focuses his voice on the power social equity businesses hold and the need for businesses to not only get their fair shake of investment dollars, but, more importantly, to ensure that the founders of these businesses have the chance to meaningfully participate in the operations when they partner with powerhouses like Cookies.

Richard Ng shines a light on the importance of working with people like Taba to ensure the market is diversified both in terms of ownership and in delivering shopping experiences and products that reach consumer groups other than white suburban house moms.  

A very powerful conversation for any one involved in the cannabis industry or who believes in the power of equality.
