Trinidadian-American lawyer Vaughn Mayers opens licensed cannabis dispensary in Brooklyn

He’s also the the Chief of Staff at the NY Senate.. nobody (in this article ,at least) thinks there might be a conflict of interest.

Louis, the daughter of Haitian and Bahamian immigrants, who represents the 45th Council District in Brooklyn; and New York City Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams, the son of Grenadian immigrants.

Special thanks were extended to the founder of Unified Political Association, Hassan Bakiriddin, and Vladimir Sterlin, partner at Le Roi Capital Partners, for attending, according to Kamla Karina Millwood, president of the Brooklyn-based Palatial Publishing, LLC and daughter of the late Kenton Kirby, Editor Emeritus of Caribbean Life, who hosted the event with Camille Hastick, vice president of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce and daughter of Dr. Roy Hastick, the late Grenadian-born founder and former president of the Brooklyn-based Caribbean American Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CACCI).
