FELICIA GLASPER [https://www.linkedin.com/in/felicia-glasper-4383828a]
(PANELIST) If you are from Chicagoland or have been to one of our
previous Green in Chi event, then you know what a welcoming
inspirational leader and woman entrepreneur Felicia Glasper is.
Determination describes a lot of things. Devotion to ones self and
ones craft are where Felicia Glasper stands out in this booming
cannabis Industry.
Being in the fast-paced, guest-driven service industry for almost
twenty years has nothing but curated this obscene passion and deep
love for the art of cooking and hosting for friends and families
throughout the world.
Staying in the service industry allowed Felicia to work with many
creative chefs and owners who have pushed her to always be pursuing
her passion to create a lifelong career as an entrepreneur, developing
these new companies and opportunities for others to blossom in the
industry as well!
A past wisdom of generations come through with the desire to feed the
mind, body and soul with cultures and traditions that are quickly
diminishing with this tech driven world. A home-cooked meal or treat
is that last connecting piece.
Felicia is excited to share the stage with such amazing leadership in
the Cannabis industry to share her story of why she started her
company Hosted and Toasted which choices led her down the
entrepreneurial path she has taken to use with her degree in Applied
Arts from Madison College and her life-long experience being a leader
in and out of the kitchen.

AMY NATHAN [https://www.linkedin.com/in/amysteinnathan] (PANELIST)
Gromentum Lab is a cannabis business accelerator focused on launching
cannabis-related businesses owned by social equity entrepreneurs in
Illinois. Currently, Amy sits on Mayor Lightfoot’s Cannabis Task
Force advising on matters related to Social Equity and Economic
Development in Chicago.
Prior to the Cannabis Industry, Amy spent decades consulting for
companies in highly-regulated industries like Financial Services and
Health Care, including CVS/Caremark, Blue Cross Blue Shield, BMO
Harris, IBM and PricewaterhouseCoopers. She started two small
businesses early in her career and worked in a business incubator in
the Middle East as a vehicle for community transformation. Since early
in her career she has cultivated a passion for working with
marginalized populations to overcome imposed barriers to
self-sustainment.
“Gromentum LabTM was founded on the principle that it takes more
than a good idea and favorable laws to make it in the cannabis
industry. It requires nurturing by an interested party, that can make
or break the difference between successful entrepreneurs and those who
fail. Gromentum Lab is dedicated to filling in the gaps for people who
were the most at risk of not having relevant social networks,
educational backgrounds and access to capital in place.
We provide an immersive, intensive 16-week business accelerator to
quickly launch cannabis-related businesses owned by Social Equity
Applicants (SEAs). Entrepreneurs will obtain seed funding, mentoring,
technical training in cannabis-related operations and the fundamentals
along with strategic applications of entrepreneurship and innovation
as part of the program. Upon graduation, they will present their
pitches to a network of investors for further funding opportunities.
Currently we are helping SEAs gain a foothold in the industry through
commercial license application. We are connecting applicants with our
deep network of pro-bono subject matter expert consultants and for
other low-cost avenues to work through property ownership and control
issues and application writing and review.”
