The stigma associated with cannabis has negatively impacted Black communities directly and indirectly. Achievements of those who have advanced despite reprehension go almost without notice in the cannabis industry.

BCW was created as a themed week to highlight Black businesses, brands, organizations, and local activists during a 7-day time frame to engage and renew the commitment toward a more informed, safe and equitable cannabis community
