How did Jill Cohen earn her [tiger] stripes in her profession? She shared, “I faced many challenges in becoming the first solely women-owned cannabis dispensary in Essex County and the 47th to open in New jersey. I was able to overcome many obstacles by having contingency plans in place. Despite the numerous hurdles that come with starting a new business, I persevered and never gave up on achieving my dreams. And here I am, leading the business alongside a talented team of employees and vendors who have helped me make this dream a reality. Persistence pays off.” Hear from all of the local business women participating in our annual Women in Business feature in our Fall 2023 issue, in homes now and online at the link below: https://bit.ly/3LZ46Gn Photo Credit Julia Maloof Verderosa Photographer thecannabosslady #thecannabosslady #womeninbusiness #femaleentrepreneur #tenacious #njdispenseraries #njdispendary #shestheboss #bosslady #whywelovesoma #goodnewsstories #somanj #southorangenj #mapsonj #maplewoodnj #supportlocalbusiness #goodnewsstories #shoplocal #springfieldave #mapso #shoplocalsoma #essexcountynj #springfield_ave #southorangevillage #maplewoodvillage #Maplewood_ave
