This Marvelous Motivating Monday, (PART 2 OF 3 Episodes on this subject), we celebrate businessman CORVAIN COOPER and former NBA player AL HARRINGTON who are featured in “Smoke: Marijuana + Black America” It motivates blacks to get a piece of the social equity of a trillion dollar business. According to the Washington Post’s article it says “it is undaunted by the enormous tasks it sets out for itself, not the least of which is to describe a certain profound link between pot and daily existence. The film is equal parts love story, tragedy, and outrage — a cultural history running parallel to the nation’s systemic and hypocritical racism in more ways than some viewers (and marijuana users) may want to admit. Like all good documentaries that tackle a complex and broad subject, “Smoke” (executive produced and narrated by rapper Nasir “Nas” Jones and directed by Erik Parker) emphasizes the big picture first, through marijuana’s influence in the music industry. In this episode, we tell how Al's grandmother's (Viola) illnesses made him investigate the cures cannabis could have and by it positively helping his grandmother, he ended up starting his own company named after her. He's hoping to make millionaires by having them invest in the industry. Corvain was a businessman given life in prison for having marijuana on him. His former building where he had his business is now a cannabis dispensary. This is why local voting for Judges, DAs and others is very important I hope you enjoy the narratives, which explains what episodes are about, as well as the graphic attached to each episode, which I diligently search for to match each episode.
