Listen now
Description
We're honored to be joined by cannabis advocate and founder, Dasheeda Dawson, of The Weedhead Co and co-host of the She Blaze podcast. In this episode, Dasheeda and DJ talk about her recent appointment as the City's of Portland's Cannabis Program Supervisor, how it came about and why Portland, Oregon was a natural next step in her journey, plus she talks about the work being done in this market. Dasheeda also explains her "blackout" on social media and how her hometown of Brooklyn inspired this movement. We peel the onion back on the multi-layered, multi-generational racism in cannabis, the connection with racism in America, and what we need to do to fix it.  We also learn why being a "child of the village" helped get on her on this current path, and how community has been a big part of her success. Tune in for some REAL TALK with Dasheeda and DJ on this latest episode of the Midas Touch Pod.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
