As the CBD craze has hit Milwaukee, people are looking for the next best thing. Whether it’s oils for pain, or flower for anxiety, the legal cannabinoid delivers functional effects of THC without the euphoric high associated with it.

Three Milwaukee natives have taken it upon themselves to add a unique twist to the CBD industry in the Brady Street area. Purple Reign CBD and Hemp Bakery will open its doors on June, 1st 2019.

Co-Owners, Jazmine Coleman, Serenity Ramirez and Martez Wilburn have made it a mission to focus on both nourishing baked goods and educating the community on CBD and its effects. The bakery has been designed to pump out grab-and-go pastries to grandiose orders.

“We believe you never succeeded until you’ve failed, and this bakery is a dream come true for all of us,” Coleman said.

The trio said they were driven to create a strong sense of purpose to build a bakery based on providing fresh ingredients with ample choices for individual’s dietary preferences and health or lifestyle choices. Purple Reign CBD and Hemp Bakery will host signature items including, “Stoner Ice Cream” and “It’s Yo’ B-Day Trifle.”

“We are happy to be of service to the Milwaukee community,” Coleman said.

Purple Reign CBD and Hemp Bakery is located at 1117 E. Brady St. and will the grand opening is at 10 a.m. on Saturday June, 1st.

After 10-Year Wait, Fillmore Heritage Center Reopens in San Francisco

After serving as the economic and cultural hub of the Fillmore’s historically Black community for more than a decade, the center’s closure ended what was called the “Rebirth of the Cool,” referring to the neighborhood’s role during the height of Black Jazz in the United States.

Last Saturday morning, the cloudy skies cleared just as the highly anticipated ribbon-cutting ceremony began, marking the reopening of the Fillmore Heritage Center at 1330 Fillmore and Eddy.

The complex – which had once included Yoshi’s Jazz Club, the Lush Life Art Gallery, the Koret Heritage Lobby, a 54-seat microcinema, and the Black-owned 1300 On Fillmore restaurant – shuttered in 2015.

“The Fillmore is the most important neighborhood in San Francisco’s history for centering Black culture, music, business, and community, and has shaped this City and influenced the entire country,” said San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie to the gathering of more than 100 community leaders, business owners, and public officials. “This building reflects the deep roots of the Fillmore. Urban renewal left deep scars that are still felt today. This Center celebrates a strong Black community that continues to shape San Francisco. I am proud to join the community as we reopen the Fillmore Heritage Center.”

Although the previous stakeholders will not be returning to the center, spaces are available for nonprofit organizations and ventures, such as Fillmore native Ericka Johnson’s Honey Art Studio.

“This Center will be an economic engine and a thriving venue that shines a light on the Black-owned businesses in this neighborhood and lifts the entire district,” Lurie continued. “Our City is committed to this community for the long term.”

“We’re excited to collaborate with the City to finally reopen these doors,” said Ken Johnson, a videographer and community leader who’d been lobbying for the reopening of the center. “It’s an opportunity to showcase the entrepreneurship and creative spirit of this ‘Harlem of the West’ and the ‘Rebirth of the Cool,’ grounded in our uniquely gifted Fillmore community.”

This month, through its Office of Economic and Workforce Development, the city will begin renting the building’s noncommercial spaces for pop-up events celebrating local talent, arts, and entertainment primarily centered in the Fillmore.
