Wanda James Biography

Wanda James is a highly respected leader in the cannabis industry, known for her efforts to eliminate the stigma surrounding the plant and raise awareness of the racial disparities that exist within the sector. As a Black woman, veteran, and former Fortune 100 executive, Wanda has spent the last decade working towards these goals. She is the CEO and founder of Simply Pure Dispensary, located in Denver, and along with her husband Scott Durrah, made history by becoming the first legally licensed African American owners of a dispensary, cultivation facility, and edible company in the United States. Despite the fact that cannabis has been legal for a decade, Wanda remains unapologetically critical of the industry, which is still predominantly owned by white individuals, with only 3% of businesses being owned by people of color
