La La Anthony wears many hats — businesswoman, actress, television personality, author, and investor. According to a press release, in her latest venture, she put on her investor hat with an investment in LEUNE, a California-born cannabis brand — founded by Nidhi Lucky Handa — with a focus on shedding light on social injustice. “LEUNE is honored to be part of the cannabis community – the constant excitement and growth potential is part of what keeps us dancing on our toes.

There is a mountain of work to be done, and beyond the fad buzzwords and headlines of the week, we’re here for as long as it takes,” the company website says. One of LEUNE’s recent actions include a partnership with the Last Prisoner Project, an organization working to end marijuana convictions. In January of 2021, the company launched an...
Allyson Felix keeps blowing us away! As if being the most decorated track and field Olympian in history isn’t enough, Felix is now giving back to fellow athletes who are tackling motherhood. That’s right, Felix knows what it means to be worried about childcare while training and competing and has announced a $200,000 grant aimed at covering childcare costs for professional athletes while they compete during the rest of 2021. According to Fast Company, the new partnership is sponsored by Athleta and the Women’s Sports Foundation and has already awarded nine athletes $10,000. Olympic hammer throw Gwen Berry and Olympic saber fencer Mariel Zagunis are among the first group of recipients. “One of my first races back after giving birth to my daughter, Camryn, was the World Championships,” said Felix. “Not only was I still breastfeeding and physically and mentally exhausted from being a first-time mom while training and competing — I was assigned a roommate at the competition. There was...
Contrary to popular opinion, lactation isn’t something that always comes easy (or naturally) for mothers. That’s why Shamiesha Ebhotemen created a lactation subscription service for Black mothers . The NurseMilk Latch Baby Latch is designed to “erase the stigma of breastfeeding.” And while breastfeeding has become more accepted as time goes on, there are still plenty of women that could use all the help they could get. With the Liquid Gold subscription, expectant mothers receive a support assessment, 1-on-1 classes, group classes, free merchandise, and weekly emails — and that’s just the beginning. According to Nurses You Should Know, Ebhtomen realized that it was important to her to create this lactation subscription service for mothers because her experience in both the medical field and as a mother made her realize that she needed to fill a void. “During her pregnancy, Shamiesha began searching for a lactation consultant of color in her neighborhood. She was only able to locate...

Minorities have fought for inclusion in the media and entertainment industry for years. The content we’ve become accustomed to seeing has been plain and uninspired, but in recent years we’ve begun to see a shift in the landscape. Media platforms are becoming more personalized and purposeful in the content they deliver for and about minorities. Actress and producer Tika Sumpter took notice of this shift and wanted to contribute in her own way for her community. Now she’s teaming up with media executive Thai Randolph, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Kevin Hart’s Laugh Out Loud digital comedy brand, to form a new lifestyle brand called Sugaberry . On Monday, Sumpter and Randolph launched The Suga podcast in partnership with Stitcher, and a part of Sugaberry , their media startup centered around motherhood for women of color. According to Variety , the idea grew from Sumpter’s frustration with the lack of online content and sense of community for Black moms. During her...
