* The number 6 is widely known as a lucky number in China, for its pronunciation sounds like the Chinese word “流”（liú), which is “flow” in English. Therefore, the number 6 indicates that everything will go smoothly.
Since ancient times, the number 8 has been regarded as the luckiest number in Chinese culture, as well as other countries with a history of Han characters. First of all, the pronunciation of the number 8 is similar to the other Chinese word “发”（fā）, which means wealth and fortune. It has all the best wishes for good fortune, success and prosperity. Second, the number 8 is related to wholeness and completeness according to the Taoist culture, so this number is deeply favored by Chinese people.

Women in Cannabis Vision Board Brunch
2023-01-14 13:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Work’N’Roll, 164 W. 25th Street, New York, NY, 10001, United States
The best way to have a great year is to PLAN to have a GREAT year. We are going to manifest the shit out of 2023!
Join us on January 14 for our FIRST #womenincannabis event of the year…The CannaDiva VISION Board Brunch.
“Neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart explains: “Looking at images on a vision board primes the brain to grasp opportunities that may otherwise go unnoticed. That’s because the brain has a process called ‘value-tagging’ which imprints important things onto your subconscious and filters out unnecessary information.”
And there are ways you can boost this activity, for example, if you look at your board right before you fall asleep every night, the images will be imprinted even further. That’s because the brain is very impressionable as it drifts into sleep and so if you focus your attention on something during that period — particularly on something new — those images are more likely to feature in your dreams and thoughts.” (Written By Lara Doherty)
We’ll provide all the necessities…poster board, markers, glitter pens, magazines, scissors, and some templates to get you started.
We’ll also have a guest speaker (TBA) discussing the process of Goal Setting and getting all YOU WANT out of your year.
And OF COURSE, our #BrandBoutique will be open so you can shop #womenled and #MeettheFounders
Brunch prepared by The Highly Personal Chef – @highly.personal.chef
Thanks again to Work n Roll NYC‘s Premier “Friendly” Co-Working Space in Chelsea for being our partner for this event.

The New York State Cannabis Workforce Initiative is a collaboration between the New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University and the Workforce Development Institute. Our mission is to promote and support social equity in the adult-use cannabis market by providing quality workforce development and legal education.
Their work, supported in part by a state budget appropriation, prioritizes diversity, equity, and quality jobs in the emerging cannabis industry through skills training, entrepreneurism services, workforce supports, legal education for employees and employers, and the development of high-road career pathways.
After years of advocacy, New York State has passed legislation that will lead to a statewide market for adult-use cannabis. The legislation—known as the Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA)—has wide-reaching implications for workforce development programs and policy. Among them, MRTA prioritizes those harmed by the prohibition of cannabis by establishing a goal to award 50% of business licenses to social equity candidates.
This goal puts New York at or near the head of the pack in terms of state-level, restorative justice cannabis policy.
