Who is Kika Keith? – The First Black Woman to Open a Dispensary in Los Angeles

It was a hard and long battle from the day Kika Keith began processing the files for her store to the day she finally opened the doors of Gorilla Rx Wellness Centre to the public. Like Kika said, seeing a black business thrive in the cannabis sector would be a source of motivation, hope, and positive stories for the younger generation in the community. The fight for inclusion and social equity is a long way from being won, but with more success stories like Kika Keith’s, victory would be a step closer.
