Today we’d like to introduce you to Danicka Brown-Frazier.
Hi Danicka, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I am a seasoned real estate professional and serial entrepreneur who has proven competence in business development, strategy and operations. I hold a BS in Finance and Economics from Chicago State University. I currently operate Greenish Vibes, a Cannabis accessories + CBD boutique that will soon transition into a Cannabis Microbusiness in CA. Greenish Vibes is accessible online, and via pop up and branded 420 friendly events. Greenish Vibes also focuses on projects to improve equity for black farmers of industrial hemp in the US and West Africa. My team and I are passionate about normalizing cannabis usage, proper education, fighting for representation in the space, and building a legacy for our families.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
In no way has the path been a smooth road. America inherently creates barriers for Black Americans in every industry. From Corporate America, entrepreneurship in several industries, to pushing standards and creating space in the Cannabis Industry, I have had to overcome many challenges. Currently operating in the Cannabis-Related space means that I have limited to no access to banking, capital, and advertising. It means that I have to work at an extraordinary grassroots level to build community, all while being in a pandemic that strongly prohibits gatherings and traveling.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Greenish Vibes?
Greenish Vibes was created to curate the best smoking accessories available. At our core, we are a lifestyle brand catering to our four twenty friendly peers. We are proud to source the best brands while intentionally supporting and collaborating with women owned and black-owned small businesses. We create Cannabis friendly, educational and lifestyle experiences across the 🌍. Our team has deep respect for the Cannabis industry and work consistently for social equity, normalization, and decriminalization. Our brand is about creating legacies and generational wealth.
