People of color face many challenges in and out of the workplace when entering the cannabis industry. Entrepreneurs of color must not only navigate business spaces that were often not designed with them in mind, but they must also overcome the stigmas surrounding the plant in various underrepresented communities. In this week's episode, we speak to Felicity Chen, founder and CEO of Polit, about navigating the negative stigmas surrounding cannabis within the Asian-American community to create one of the most well-respected brands in California's adult-use market. Felicity also shares her insights regarding fundraising through NFTs and Web3 platforms and offers advice for young entrepreneurs experiencing operational setbacks.
