Cynthia L. Mompoint
Our founder and CEO, Cynthia Mompoint, brings over 25 years of business, policy, and equity experience with her latest contribution being an investigative examination of the structural, conscious, and subconscious biases found in the MA Cannabis Control Commission’s Equity Program. As a Massachusetts Economic Empowerment certificate holder and an approved Social Equity Participant, she drafted the MA Marijuana Social Equity Report, an independent white paper looking at the first three years of the Massachusetts legal Cannabis industry and providing recommendations on corrective actions the state can take to meet its legislative mandate for equity in the industry. She’s also designed the P.I.E.S. program that organizations and agencies can adopt to shift the demographic culture in the legal industry to be inclusive and diverse by leveraging equity and building collaborative relationships across businesses in the industry.
Maur B. Stringer
Husband and father to five children (4 sons and 1 daughter), an American author, orator, poet, and a diversity and equity consultant, Maur Stringer was a child soldier in the 1990's War on Drugs. He was arrested at the age of 14 for Cannabis but was charged as an adult for a Schedule I drug, sale to a minor, as a minor.
Since then, Maur has leveraged his tenacity and experience with the legal system to meet and encourage young children who have also been enlisted in this war against their skin color under the guise of a War on Drugs. Visiting youth detention centers and engaging with young men and women in various arenas, Maur aims to give voice to those often unheard, marginalized, or systematized into the school to prison pipeline.
Maur boldly continues working with the Cannabis plant as he has done since 1993, focusing now in the legal space as both a cannabis entrepreneur and equity advocate and participant. In 2020, Maur wrote, "Massachusetts Jumping Jim Crow for Cannabis", in response to the Cannabis Control Commission’s public equity forum where he spoke to the issue of equity in Massachusetts cannabis industry. He brings a passionate and creative perspective to the work of achieving equity particularly in the Cannabis industry.
"Wartime relief for the War on Drugs" is one of Maur’s slogans and pretty much sums up his stance on equity in the cannabis industry.
