"One of the most horrific events I've had to experience", Maur Stringer. We've just released a video of an assault at NECANN. After Grant Smith and Harry/Big Hope Project made crazy accusations against Maur Stringer, they didn't want to release the video that we have released. The video shows Stringer AKA MassMother Mari getting jumped by three men all associated with Big Hope Project. And then two of the men filed restraining orders against Stringer. The video vindicates Stringer but the damage has been done.

Our guests are all black business owners speaking about harassment and crazy bs they have had to recently endure: Maur Stringer of Shakti Green Lit and Sieh "Chief" and Leah Samura, the husband and wife owners of Yamba Market, a retail dispensary in Central Square, Cambridge, MA.

The Desmonds believe The Record Co. was a beneficiary of favoritism, alleging that MASSCreative had a conflict of interest because the city’s chief of arts and culture, Kara Elliott-Ortega, chairs its board. Elliott-Ortega is in a relationship with The Record Co.’s executive director, Matt McArthur.

“[Elliott-Ortega] wanted to get my tenants away from me for her boyfriend's business,” Katherine Desmond said. “It's unethical. It's unmoral. And I'm hoping to prove that it's illegal, and litigate against it.”
