8 Black Women Who Are Trailblazing In The Cannabis Industry

Mary Pryor

With an extensive background in digital marketing, Pryor decided to hone her powers in helping brands reach niche audiences while fighting the major inclusivity issue the cannabis industry faces through her company Cannaclusive. The company provides marketing and venture capitalist consulting for cannabis-centric clients such as cannabis yoga instructors, ganja rappers, and beyond. They have a regularly updated and valuable list on their site called the InclusiveBase where they list Black-, LatinX-, woman-, and other minority-owned cannabis companies. This is from their mission statement: “Cannaclusive was created to facilitate fair representation of minority cannabis consumers. … We make it easier for brands to communicate with diverse audiences and ensure that minority consumers are not an afterthought, but a valued ally in the fight for legalization and destigmatization.”
