Cannabis Social Equity Through Spreadsheets
Janelle Goines is the Chief Operating Officer & Co-Founder of The Emerald Turtle, a majority minority-owned Cannabis venture. Janelle brings her finance degree from Northeastern University, her love for entrepreneurship, twenty-years of experience in both public and corporate accounting companies, and her experience creating a successful business to the emerging Massachusetts cannabis industry. With the partnership of her husband they are working toward becoming one of the Commonwealth’s first social equity home delivery providers while also fighting for others with the founding of the Mass Cannabis Association for Delivery. The Canna Mom Show’s special segment guest this week is Victoria Vegas, better known as the Cannah Buttah Babe, who shares some of her secrets for making the best canna butter. And Joyce gives a shout out to Ashleen and Rileigh, hosts of Chronic Gals Podcast, young and fun cannabis podcasters.
