The Challenges of Cannabis Inclusion Efforts
When the cannabis industry first started gaining traction, many people thought that the field would be a leader in diversity, equity, and inclusion. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case. This week, Sumayyah Emeh-Edu joins the podcast to talk about the ways the industry is trying to correct itself and become more inclusive. Sumayyah is the vice president of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) at Canopy Growth and has been implementing DEI initiatives for companies since 2015. On the pod, she talks about diversity in the cannabis industry, and how it’s a reflection of historical and current socioeconomic conditions. Sumayyah also talks about the initiatives cannabis companies need to implement for more diversity, and who’s most responsible for change.
