Nicole Lucien co-owns Manhattan’s first Black-owned cannabis dispensary
In a historic moment for Manhattan’s cannabis industry, “Bliss + Lex” has opened its doors as the borough’s first Black woman-owned cannabis dispensary.
Located at the corner of East 86th and Lexington Avenue, this pioneering establishment marks a significant milestone in New York’s burgeoning cannabis market.
Nicole Lucien, the visionary behind “Bliss + Lex,” expressed her excitement, stating:
“Since cannabis recreationally was legalized in New York, we’ve had our eyes set on applying for a license.”
Together with her husband, Christopher Lucien, they are poised to transform their long-held dream into a reality.
For Nicole and Christopher, the venture represents more than just a business opportunity; it symbolizes a chance to secure a brighter future for their family, including their five-year-old twins, Veronica and Ryan.
Christopher Lucien emphasized the transformative potential of the endeavor, stating, “This allowed us the opportunity to create generational wealth and change the course of my family forever.”
