Nu Project
The global cannabis industry could build wealth for early company employees that rivals what internet companies generated for their early employees — think of Google’s or Amazon’s early employees. NuProfessional’s goal is for more of these employees to be Black and brown. Via a panel of cannabis professionals and leaders, we’ll explore how professionals of color land meaningful, wealth-generating cannabis careers.
