Throughout AANHPI Month, Honeysuckle presented “Asians Across The Supply Chain: Profiles In AANHPI Cannabis,” in partnership with Dutchie! We are proud to celebrate the cannabis industry stakeholders who are building the foundation for this evolving space and pioneering the brands that serve the ecosystem as a whole. These professionals come from all across the cannabis supply chain, proving that each sector functions in tandem to build an inclusive, expansive and growing industry.
We’ve shared several in-depth profiles with you throughout May. But there are so many more innovators to spotlight all year round! Here is a list of more luminaries to follow. This time, we are going national and even international. And if you want to share your AANHPI heritage stories with us, hit us up at @honeysucklemagazine on Instagram.
