Cannabis Baking

Ebony was eager to join the podcast to share her baking experiences and perspectives. Together, we dove into the complexities of the cannabis industry, talked about community involvement, and outlined her vision for the future.

Amid the trials brought on by the pandemic, she founded 8twenty8 with a clear goal: to break down the barriers associated with cannabis and to shine a light on mental health through engaging events. As one of the few black chefs and ordained ministers advocating for cannabis, her journey has deeply influenced her mission.

Most of her business is in-person classes held in dispensaries.
