🔥 Wellness with Purpose
Arana breaks down how cannabis became her go-to for sleep, anxiety, pain relief—and why intentional, educated use is everything.
🌱 Legacy in Her Blood
From moonshine to marijuana, hear how Arana’s family helped flip prohibition into power—and how she’s doing the same in cannabis today.
👩🏾🍼 Canna-Mom Energy
CEO, mom of two, and never afraid to light up—Arana keeps it real about making time to breathe, cook, connect, and recharge.
🏙️ Big City Moves
With deep roots in real estate and politics, Arana knows how to navigate zoning, licensing, and community boards to plant dispensaries where people actually live.
✊🏾 Equity in Action
Through her partnership with The Doe Fund, Arana’s hiring legacy workers, training 200+ staff, and turning retail into real change.
🚫 Calling Out the Industry
She’s not sugarcoating it—Black ownership is still rare in cannabis. Arana sounds the alarm on equity, access, and building power in a white-dominated space.
Why tap in?
