Greetings Glocal Citizens!



This week it’s Part 1 of a two-part conversation with serial entrepreneur and diversity activist, Cherron Perry-Thomas. She is founder and president of Green Dandelion Marketing and Sales which grew out of a desire to introduce retailers to innovative plant based products. Since its founding, 20 years ago, Green Dandelion has helped their clients launch more than 2,000 products in grocery and health stores in the mid-Atlantic United States. Clients include manufactures of biodynamic, organic, non-gmo, vegan and fair trade products, helping to solidify their commitment to leaving a positive impact on the planet and all lives. which she further nurtures as co-owner of Plant and People, a Black women's owned boutique offering house plants, supplies, plant wellness products, services, and gifts.



A certified Social Impact Strategist, she applies these skills as the Director of Social Impact for The Diasporic Alliance for Cannabis Opportunities (DACO), a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness about educational, wellness, and economic opportunities in the cannabis industry and particularly through the Black Cannabis Week Initiative which takes place September 22-29, 2024. Whether you’re a “planty” person or not, there’s plenty of green gems to pick up in this conversation.
