Well, at the age of 25, she is the youngest Black woman dispensary owner in America. She’s also the founder of Compassionate Herbal Alternative, an enterprise that creates opportunities for minorities who have been disproportionately affected by the war on drugs.

Hope Wiseman is a testament to tenacity, vision and compassion and Ms. Wiseman aims to transform her community – and beyond – from both a wellness and economical standpoint. Along with her business partners, Dr. Octavia Simkins-Wiseman, Dr. Larry Bryant and Dexter Parker, she awaits the opening of Mary and Main in Prince George’s County, Maryland in December of 2017. The dispensary will be the one of the first in the county.

At the age of 25, WAGS Atlanta cast member, Hope Wiseman is the founder of Mary and Main a dispensary set to open up in Prince George’s County, Maryland, making Wiseman the youngest dispensary owner in the U.S.

Wiseman started the business with her mother, Dr. Octavia Simkins-Wiseman, and co-founders, Dr. Larry Bryant and Dexter Parker. Admittedly, she and her mother didn’t know too much about the industry but, what she did know was, there was a real market opportunity. The two brought on additional co-founders to help tackle the feat.
