But fast-forward to two years ago and I get an opportunity to spend time at an institution known for creating and cultivating great thinkers. Little did I know at the time that there's a ritual at the Kennedy School where students get an opportunity to stand on the famous forum stage and they're given 15 seconds to say what they were going to do at the Kennedy School. And so, you know what I'm thinking, right? It's a full-circle moment. I'm going to get it right. So I take the mic, I introduce myself and I say to my peers, to deans and to faculty members that I'm here to tell you that marijuana matters. Not a lot of giggles. Actually, it was actually a lot of applause. But in my head, I'm thinking, "Khadijah, did you just stand on the premiere policy stage and tell these folks you’re going to talk about weed?”
