This is the Radio Boston rundown for Sept. 28. Tiziana Dearing is our host.

  • There has been $3.43 billion in revenue from Massachusetts cannabis companies, but where is all the money going? Former Boston City Councilor Tito Jackson joins us to discuss his experience going through the Massachusetts Cannabis Commission's Social Equity Program. We also hear from Ty Gomes, whose company provides educational resources for the program.
  • Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine earlier this year, more than 7 million people have been displaced, according to the United Nations. One of them is Brandeis University student Sofiia Tarasiuk, who fled to Lithuania before finding a scholarship opportunity here in Massachusetts. She shares her story, and how she adapted when her life plan was changed in an instant.
  • A Dorchester photographer is providing free portraits out of various Boston Public Library locations through November. We meet the man behind the camera, Mike Ritter, and learn more about his project, Beautiful Dot.

This program aired on September 28, 2022.
