She’s exactly the type of business owner we should be supporting and championing—someone who brings passion, diversity, and a strong sense of community to everything she does. I wish her all the success in this exciting new endeavor and congratulate her on the opening of The Other Side dispensary in the Heights,” said Yousef Saleh, Ward D, Jersey City Council.
