In this powerful episode of the Know Your Rights Camp podcast, we explore the front lines of the cannabis industry with two dynamic voices in the movement: Whitney Beatty and Kika Keith. Both are breaking barriers and blazing trails for equity, ownership, and justice in marijuana business spaces often dominated by corporate interests.

Whitney Beatty, founder of Josephine & Billies—a dispensary created specifically for women of color—shares her journey from TV executive to cannabis changemaker. Kika Keith, co-producer of the eye-opening documentary Kiss My Grass(@kissmygrassdoc) and founder of Gorilla Wellness, the first Black woman-owned dispensary in Los Angeles, dives into the realities of launching and sustaining a business in a heavily policed and overregulated industry. The short film is directed by by @iammarypryor.

Together, they unpack the steep financial barriers, predatory investors, and policy hurdles they face—while reaffirming the power of community, activism, and collective reinvestment as tools for true equity. If you're interested in cannabis justice, entrepreneurship, or the future of inclusive business models, this episode is a must-listen.

In this powerful episode of the Know Your Rights Camp podcast, host Amir Whitaker exposes how war profiteering and unchecked military expansion are silently shaping our world—and stealing from our communities. From classrooms to clinics, vital resources are stripped away as billions pour into endless conflict. Dr. Whitaker breaks down how President Eisenhower’s 1961 warning wasn’t just a footnote in history—it was a prophecy. This isn’t just about foreign wars; it’s about how the military-industrial complex infiltrates our politics, poisons our priorities, and threatens our freedom. If you care about justice, peace, and real democracy, you need to hear this.
