SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
This week, we are continuing our high clientele series with the visionary President and Co-Founder of The Travel Agency NYC, Arana Hankin-Biggers!
Tune in and discover how Arana merges her personal family legacy with her own shift into cannabis entrepreneurship to build a wellness-centered, socially equitable brand.
What’s inside this episode:
🔥 Wellness with Purpose
Arana breaks down how cannabis became her go-to for sleep, anxiety, pain relief—and why intentional, educated use is everything.
🌱 Legacy in Her Blood
From moonshine to marijuana, hear how Arana’s family helped flip prohibition into power—and how she’s doing the same in cannabis today.
👩🏾🍼 Canna-Mom Energy
CEO, mom of two, and never afraid to light up—Arana keeps it real about making time to breathe, cook, connect, and recharge.
🏙️ Big City Moves
With deep roots in real estate and politics, Arana knows how to navigate zoning, licensing, and community boards to plant dispensaries where people actually live.
✊🏾 Equity in Action
Through her partnership with The Doe Fund, Arana’s hiring legacy workers, training 200+ staff, and turning retail into real change.
🚫 Calling Out the Industry
She’s not sugarcoating it—Black ownership is still rare in cannabis. Arana sounds the alarm on equity, access, and building power in a white-dominated space.
Why tap in?
This episode is a masterclass in cannabis culture, wellness leadership, and building community with intention. Whether you’re new to the plant or deep in the game, Arana’s story will move you—and maybe spark your next move.
🖤 Healing, history, and hustle — all in one episode.
