Top Black Female-Owned Cannabis Brands Right NOW
The cannabis industry has long been dominated by white men, but in recent years there has been a push to increase diversity and inclusion within the industry, especially among those communities most harmed by the war on drugs - Black Women. Despite being historically underrepresented, there are now a number of black female-owned cannabis brands that are making a big impact in the industry. In this blog post, I’ll highlight the top 5 black female-owned cannabis brands in the US, based on their popularity, quality, and innovation. This list is by no means exhaustive and I look forward to growing it as I learn about more black female-owned brands making waves, please let me know who to look out for in the comments!
Each of these brands offers a range of cannabis-infused products, including edibles, topicals, and tinctures, and has a strong focus on sustainability, using eco-friendly packaging materials. In addition to their cannabis offerings, these brands are also focused on education and advocacy, with a mission to empower and uplift marginalized communities, and destigmatize cannabis to make it more accessible to all.
