“The Grass Cab is committed to enriching Bergen County and the broader New Jersey community through cannabis education, responsible-consumption initiatives, local hiring, and meaningful engagement programs.”

The Grass Cab Dispensary Founder Background

It was founded by Emmy Award-winning television producer Shavon Sullivan Wright.

She spent 20 years in television production prior to entering the cannabis industry. Her credits span NBC’s Summer and Winter Olympics, six seasons of The Apprentice starring President Donald Trump (R), and large-scale international productions across New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C.

“I’ve spent twenty years producing live, high-stakes moments for the world’s biggest audiences. The Grass Cab is that same discipline, vision, and care applied to an industry, a community, and a moment that all deserve nothing less,” Wright said.

In 2019, she won an Emmy for the OWN Network’s four-part series “Black Women OWN the Conversation,” delivering the network its first-ever Emmy Award.

Black-owned and women-owned dispensaries remain a small fraction of New Jersey license holders despite the state’s stated equity goals.

According to a release, “Shavon represents exactly the founder profile New Jersey’s cannabis program was designed to elevate.”
