Episode description

We believe everyone has a right to feel good, especially in these times. Mama Sue Taylor built a whole business off this belief. At 77 years old, Mama Sue is thriving and running a successful cannabis business helping elders take their life back. But she wasn’t always so weed positive. She tells X how she went from being a retired Catholic school principal to being the first Black woman in the Bay Area to open a dispensary. In a truly intergenerational conversation, they discuss the importance of being able to change your mind as you age, and why our grandparents need “trusted messengers.” Mama Sue also talks about getting her business off the ground, despite the barriers she faced.
