LinkUp in the lobby is a social impact and lifestyle platform to amplify the work of minority advocacy organizations, professionals, legislators, and impactors as they navigate and overcome struggles BIPOC face in the legal cannabis space and ancillary industries. In this conversation, we sit down with Chicago NORML Executive Director Edie Moore to learn more about her work as an individual to make impactful changes in Illinois’ legal cannabis industry.
Edie shares:
