🎉 Safe Space Block Party Recap
We kicked off last month with our 1st Annual Safe Space Block Party, a day filled with community fun, learning, and connection. The event was a major success, featuring a Social Equity in Cannabis panel with industry leaders sharing their insights, DJ IJE providing the perfect soundtrack, and mouth-watering food from Jerk & Soul Food and Los Cuates de Juanita’s. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the event’s success. We look forward to hosting more events like this in the future!
