CannaBronx is a bold, multi-strategy vehicle that was founded to ensure that the communities most impacted by the war on drugs are at the forefront of realizing equity and truly benefit from this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to shape New York’s cannabis industry from the ground up.

We believe in a future where the very community members who have been most impacted by the criminalization of marijuana can heal from generations of trauma and be at the front of the line to build community wealth, economic and immigrant justice, health, and beyond.

our journey

our journey.

CannaBronx is the brainchild of Wanda Salaman, Executive Director of Mothers on the Move, a visionary leader in the Bronx for decades. For the last 7 years, Wanda has been working with many other leaders in the Bronx and beyond to advocate for the decriminalization of cannabis and envision a new future for community members who were incarcerated as part of the war on drugs, along with their families. Working with co-founders and community experts such as Siddhartha Sanchez, Taleigh Smith, Kavita Pawria-Sanchez, Rose DeStefano, and Simran Noor, we’ve built a foundation of partnerships with the community, cannabis industry, government agencies, regulators, academic institutions philanthropy, and advocates to develop real-world applications for our beloved Bronx. CannaBronx was founded in 2022.
