I have been a part of the Social Equity Cannabis Program within the City of Long Beach, since 2019. 1 am Applicant #7 within their System, with pending licenses for Manufacturing, Cultivation, Distribution and I'm currently in the running for a Dispensary. I have also Co-Founded a social equity alliance called SEE, which stands for Long Beach Social Equity Entrepreneurs, as well as the NASEE which is the National Alliance of Social Equity Entrepreneurs. Through those YEARS, I have conversed with many people who have worked within the Office of Cannabis Oversight in Long Beach. Watching the 'Cannabis Managers', and employees change, like the changing of the color of leaves. Yet, not much progress has been made for Equity.
Only now, after 6+ years, is Equity allowed to have a Dispensary... and not an equal amount to those already operating, 32 non-equity dispensaries, yet only 8 for Equity. We have waited, and lobbied for the opportunity to erect a Dispensary within The City, while we watched The Others make millions of dollars within our own neighborhoods. We have waited for years, to be able to have a Delivery Service... though thats still not an option in Long Beach. We have waited years, to be able to have a Shared Use Manufacturing Facility... though thats still not an option either. We have waited years, to be able to put on a licensed cannabis event within the City... still not an option. Initially, the cause for the delay was 'staffing shortages', but after numerous additions to the Staff, we still do not have what we are supposed to, with the constant narrative of 'Thank you for your patience'.
After visiting the Go-Biz website, and finding out that Long Beach has received over 8 MILLION dollars since 2019 (plus more from other outlets), yet only about 2 Applicants have made it through The Program and were licensed, plus about 6 more who are currently Pending in the System, it leaves one to wonder, WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING? Is it being funneled back into the pockets of The City with increased staffing, higher licensing rates for Equity, or spending mass amounts on 'Technical Assistance', yet low amounts actually going into The Equity Applicants hands to cross the finish line?
This email thread was only started due to the fact that we were wronged by The City. We were promised 445k to complete the process, then a month after signing our 6 year leases, we were told the funding amount has changed drastically, and there was nothing we could do about it. While in a ROOM FULL of people I asked the then Manager if we could get 'grandfathered in', and she stated, 'YES', we would still get what was promised to us. Only for her to renege on what she said, and tell us the best solution is for us to go 'find an investor. The Pending people in the System need help. They are drowning, and relied on what was promised to our detriment... detrimental reliance.
You could NEVER repay us for the harm/damage done by the War on Drugs aka the War on People, yet helping them through the process, COMPLETELY, is a good start.
Please do not leave us high and dry, with your hands behind your back, though having a bank account filled with millions.

Does this include the Theft of Social Equity Ability To Own 100% Of Our Companies? Alongside with cities refusing to ensure success of Social Equity Applicants. The significant reduction of grants is a a major red flag. Like housing and the red line where qualified people off color.
Our Ancestors were denied and not allowed to OWN/OR reach their full Potentials.
Cities never intended for Social Equity Entrepreneurs, who are/were directly affected by the war drugs. To succeed this was a setup for applicants to fail.
However where there is a WILL there is a WAY!
I'm reporting a Theft in regards to the right off OWNERSHIP and Detrimental Reliance imposed via The Cannabis Oversight Committee and The City of Long Beach. AGAINST SOCIAL EQUITY ENTREPRENEURS! Jillian L.Xavier

| Well said Miriel! In addition we fought for every grant we got. The location grant was given, because of Miriel's and I suggestion at the Town Hall meeting. Where the then manager Emily could not figure out what to do. As funds were needed to be returned to Go-Biz if it was not used by a certain time.
Now grants were increased due to additional funding from Go-Biz. Then the Cannabis Oversight Committee had another Town Hall Meeting. Explaining the changes in the grant. Miriel asked then manager Emily "Would the applicants who have applications submitted. Would they be grandfathered in?" Emily replied YES and a week later backtracked.
Prompting LBSEE/ Long Beach Social Equity Entrepreneurs. To rally at every City Hall meeting, needless to say The City quickly released her. We did receive the first milestone after fighting for it. But the grant was never restored we continued to voice our concerns, at City Hall meetings only for them to fall on deaf ears.
A month after signing our leases the grant was reduced. Funding is now based on square footage which makes no sense. Opening a Cannabis Testing Laboratory equipment is not priced based on square footage. Go-Biz sent another round off funding thank you. But understand while two applicants were able to get half a million dollars each. Funding is now below the level it's designed for the applicants to fail.
Now bear in mind that's the only two applicants that made it through the program.
Help is needed to move through the state and city process. Valencia you have to see where a need is and fill it. I've provided the architect invoice along with contact information. You can verify if you choose to make this program equitable for all applicants.
Attached are the old and new grant structure. I've also attached a letter received from the DCC with a deadline on my application. I'm in need off help those who have a heart and ears please hear us! Thank you,

Great morning Valencia!
On this email thread I have looped in Go-Biz, through their Cannabis Equity Grants Program, the DCC and their Dept of Equity, as well as the Mayor of Long Beach.
I have also attached a screen shot from the Go-Biz website, which depicts their goals in giving Local Jurisdictions money, to aide Equity, and limit the amount of 'illegal/blackmarket' type activities within our State.
Moving forward, the problem is not with the 'illegal market, which once was the route taken to get consumers their medications, it is with Local Jurisdictions failing to pour in the amount of capital documento ion, certifications, oths ote), Despite having relived milons, ring bittons, limits, tax dollars, why is only a small amount of that money getting into the hands of those who really need it? Why do we have to beg, lobby, protest, and fight... for what should be ours... as stated on the California State website to 'ASSIST with securing the capital NEEDED'? You all have the capital, see the need, and understand the goal...
Currently there are only a handful of Social Equity Applicants in the system to receive cannabis licensing with Long Beach City, while hundreds of others wait on the sidelines. We also have another 8, that will be coming in the system within the next 6 months since Social Equity Dispensaries are FINALLY on the table, yet that doesn't negate the fact of helping those who have pending licenses with The City and The State. If the goal is to erect more 'legal' cannabis businesses, then help those who are in the process, who need help. Holding out on funds, thinking that others will join in the Program is not the way to go, as you all have seen (back in 2021), doing so caused you to almost lose 1.2m in Go-Biz funding.
The more Equity businesses that are in operation, means the less 'blackmarket' businesses that will be operating. The People HAVE to see that it can be done, and that it is 'safe' to 'trust, the same ones who hunted and prosecuted us... showing the world that we CAN work together, forgive, move forward and grow (pun intended).
Jillian is on this email thread, she would be the first black woman owned testing lab. She has no investors, no partners, no 49% of her equity to give up, she owns 100%. THAT, would be in Long Beach.
Then you have myself... I would open the first black woman owned seed-to-sale Corporation. No investors, no partners, 100% of my business owned by me. Would also be in Long Beach, right next door to her.
Lastly, you have many others in your current Program who need the help, especially since our heart is to incubate other Applicants.
Help us... Help you.

Hi Jillian & Mae,
1 appreciate your ideas about creating a supplemental grant for those currently in the licensing process.
However, at this time, it is not feasible to create a supplemental grant for a myriad of reasons. This includes guidance from our grantor, GO-Biz, to create an equitable and sustainable grant program so that equity applicants across the program (as opposed to a select few) are able to access the funding and consideration for new businesses coming onboard in the next few months.
The equity program is not intended to cover all the costs of starting a cannabis businesses. Therefore, it is essential that equity applicants identify other sources of capital to cover the startup costs of their business. No matter who is responsible for overseeing the Cannabis Equity Program, the parameters set by GO-Biz on the eligible uses of funding and standard government fiscal responsibility, will not change. I hope that everyone can come to this understanding moving forward. Thank you.

Great morning Valencia!
After receiving the attached message, I would suggest to offer it to those who are currently in the Program, who have completed Milestone #2, so it is 'equitable' and "fair'.
I believe there are only a handful of us who are currently in the process, excluding those who have already completed the process & those who had to return their grant funds. Maybe 8?
Now, I do understand that the additional grant funds were a 'one-time' thing, yet, it was to help those who were currently in the process to make it through.
Back then, Tamika and Sanjeeve got over a half a million dollars to cross the finish line, though now, the funds to accomplish such are much lower while costs are higher.
I am aware that you all received another round of funding (millions), which is in place to assist us, in addition to LB needing to match the funds given, and also, help us... so with that, please help those who need it.
Those who are IN the process... looking to cross the finish line.
Not many have made it to this point, and us who are in the race, give hope to those who are looking to start the race.
After talking with Yan, he has stated, how telling our stories to the other Applicants helped to give them 'hope'.
Please do everything within your power to help us. Even if you offered the same amount of 250k total, to those who are CURRENTLY in the Process, with having Milestone #2 completed, it still would help give us a 'boost' to get over certain hurdles, and finish the race while leaving millions in the bank for others.

l've also attached a pre-construction grant request for your consideration. Even if it's coming out my construction grant. Funding is needed for me to move forward which is the architect fee. Initially I received $7500 the current plans are based on what I had. However the current architect is still charging $10,000 to update my current plans.
Also the state is also requiring changes to my current plans see below; Thank you again this is critical for me to move forward.

Hi Jillian,
It was a pleasure meeting with you on 3/22/23 via Microsoft Teams. I appreciate you taking the time to share this information with us, including the quotes and receipts. We will take into consideration your pitch to create a special grant (or perhaps a new milestone) and/or increase the milestone funding amounts for the lab testing license as we continue to finetune our Direct Grants Program.
Keep in mind that the City's grantor (GO-Biz) requires us to disburse direct grants in an equitable and sustainable way to ensure access to all equity applicants in our program (currently 164). There is no guarantee that the City will continue to receive GO-Biz funding in perpetuity and/or future awards to the City may be significantly reduced as more citles are implementing equity programs while the overall funding pool remains the same. In the future, the Direct Grants Program may need to be adjusted with lower funding amounts for each milestone to accommodate for the latter.
Hence, it is strongly encouraged by GO-Biz and the City that equity applicants find other sources capital as the direct grants program is not able nor intended to cover all the costs associated with opening in cannabis business.
Also, big kudos on being one of the panelists for the women's history month event! Feel free to share other events with us in the future so we can listen in and continue learning from you. Thank you as always for being an advocate for cannabis equity in Long Beach.
Kind regards,
