Josephine and Billie’s

With marijuana still under prohibition since 1937, it’s only fitting that LA have an essential speakeasy cannabis retail concept inspired by Jazz Age tea pads where Black communities came together to share smokes. The throwback shop, which takes its name from French entertainer Josephine Baker and America Jazz singer Billie Holiday, creates a welcoming environment for women of color and unabashedly promotes the slogan “Buy weed from women.” Led by CEO Whitney Beatty and COO Ebony Andersen, Josephine and Billie’s carries product lines that reflect the diversity of the communities it intends to serve with intention and include Black and Brown owned brands at price points for everyone from the occasional dabbler to the connoisseur.
