About Me

Hey, I’m Tia.

Writer, cannabis advocate, and the woman behind Honestly Mary Jane—a space built for curious, conscious women of color who want more from the cannabis conversation.

This platform was born from a need I couldn’t ignore. I’ve been navigating the cannabis world for years—researching, exploring, and using the plant with intention. But even as I deepened my knowledge and embraced the benefits cannabis brought to my life, I noticed a consistent void: content that felt aligned with my values, my culture, and my lived experience as a Black woman.

So, I created what I couldn’t find.

A space rooted in truth, driven by education and committed to representation.

Why Honestly Mary Jane Exists

Cannabis has long been used as a tool for healing, creativity, connection, and calm—but the narratives surrounding it often leave out women of color. We’re either hyper-stigmatized or wholly ignored. Honestly Mary Jane exists to shift that narrative.

This platform is for women who want to learn more, not just about strains and edibles, but about how cannabis fits into their actual lives: their wellness routines, their stress relief, their joy, and their boundaries.

I approach cannabis from a space of curiosity and care. I’m not a medical professional or a legacy grower—I’m a woman who’s done the research, asked the questions, and created space for the conversations we should’ve been having all along.

What You'll Find Here

Accessible Education: Cannabis basics, breaking down common myths, and demystifying the science behind the plant—without the jargon.

Personal Exploration: Reflections from my own journey and stories from other women of color who are finding their way into cannabis culture.

Wellness and Lifestyle: Intentional use, microdosing, product reviews, and rituals that speak to real life—not marketing hype.

Advocacy and Equity: Conversations around policy, access, and how we can push for a more just and inclusive cannabis industry.

I’m here to offer a perspective that centers us—intelligent, curious, nuanced, and unafraid to challenge the status quo.

Let’s Build Something Real

Whether you're just curious or already rolling with intention, you have space here. I believe in honest conversations, shared resources, and learning together. And if you’re a brand or creative looking to collaborate on thoughtful, culture-forward cannabis content—I’d love to connect.

Honestly Mary Jane is about more than cannabis—it’s about reclaiming space, honoring our wellness, and staying rooted in truth.

Thanks for being here.
