"Sue Taylor just won a license in Berkeley to open the first dispensary that is aimed at seniors, and to my knowledge she's the first black female senior to own a dispensary," says Shaleen. "Dispensaries can be kind of like hip, young places, which is great, but it's not great when you have seniors who need to feel comfortable asking questions and learning, and so I think her dispensary in Berkeley, which is going to be called 'I Can,' is going to be so groundbreaking and historic, and Sue Taylor is an amazing person with no fear and such a wonderful, strong woman."
