Born in Liberia and raised around the MN metro I have been interested in politics and cannabis since I was a teenager. The death of Philando Castille brought me to cannabis activism in 2017. After some time I became the Outreach Director for The Campaign for Full Legalization and later the Treasurer for the Legal Marijuana Now Party. Through these experiences I learned how to craft and read policy while also learning how to advocate at the state capitol. I worked for the DFL during their Trifecta Campaign of 2022. Then turned those skills into a job lobbying for MN's sweetest cannabis company. During the '23 session I worked alongside fellow lobbyist and legislators to finally bring Cannabis prohibition to an end in Minnesota. Since the session ended I have pivoted to Wholesale sales of THC edibles. I look to be a constant advocate and educator of MN's new cannabis laws. With an eye towards the sessions ahead, I want to continue doing my part in creating and sustaining progressive laws for the state of Minnesota.
