Dab into Business!
How did you get started; why?
I was ready to change the trajectory of my life. I was beyond bored with corporate, so I started researching how to start my own business. I kept getting signs that I needed a business that ignited a fire and sparked my passion. I knew the universe would guide me….so cannabis it was.
What’s your niche in the cannabis space? Why?
I help women elevate their wellness with cannabis. I connect them to quality flowers, support their well-being, and inspire them to elevate to their highest potential. I feel cannabis has allowed me to be more comfortable on my healing journey, and as a healer, I wanted to remove the stigma of cannabis use for other women.
Founder and CEO Tracey Schultz is an African-American woman and an advocate for cannabis. She adds a unique perspective to the industry because she uses cannabis to manage her multiple sclerosis symptoms. Queen Tracey is determined to show up in the industry as her best self, dedicated to total well-being with two princesses as her motivation.
Did you face any legal or criminal barriers to cannabis entry? If so, how did you overcome the barriers?
No
What are some talents, skills, experience, and knowledge you picked up while in cannabis?
Every day I’m learning a new way of doing things in the marketplace. I’m a business processor analyst, so I’m curious about how the industry works. I research, question, and analyze the corporate setup and the laws in which they can operate as a business. I think it’s important to know the laws. When you know how it works then, you learn how to move properly.
What tech tools did you use to start your brand?
Social media- google research, YouTube.
How do you stand out from other brands within your target population?
Actually, I’m still working on that. My focus is connecting to the women and not solely selling to women. I want to educate about the benefits cannabis can provide to those wanting holistic relief to their health issues.

The “machine.” Nikki Minaj has a verse in her song “seeing green” that goes like…” no one bitch could be my oops that shit offends me; it’s the corporate giants and machine that went against me. I felt her on that. Algorithms and corporate policies have been brutal. On top of that, I also get in my own way.

The caves in which we fear to enter holds the very treasure we seek to find…..and so I keep going.
