Our STORY

Welcome to Mavuno, where passion meets purpose, and possibilities are endless.

The name Mavuno, which means harvest, yield, and provide in Swahili, perfectly describes our retail cannabis company whose mission is to improve lives through the goodness of cannabis.

Mavuno’s commitment is not three-, but four-fold: 1) to offer a quality and diverse selection of cannabis products that meet our customers’ needs, 2) to provide unrivaled customer experiences, 3) to continue our legacy of providing access to careers in cannabis for women and other underrepresented groups, and 4) to contribute to local and state economies, all while embracing and changing the conversation regarding cannabis and its benefits.

Licensed in 2017 and operational in 2021, Mavuno, a family owned and operated company, was born out of a deep-rooted passion for social equity, culture, and family values. As the first Black and the first woman-owned cannabis company to achieve vertical integration in the state of Ohio, CEO, Ariane Kirkpatrick, and COO, Amonica Davis, Ariane’s sister, have proudly broken barriers, blazed trails, and paved the way for a diverse and inclusive workforce and supply chain in the cannabis industry.
 
At Mavuno, having been raised by a schoolteacher mother and a salesperson for a father, Ariane and Amonica believe in the power of education to inform, inspire, and change lives. Through strategic programs and partnerships, coupled with authentic relationships, Mavuno’s operators and team members empower customers and other curious individuals, through education and resources, to make informed decisions regarding cannabis and to navigate its evolving landscape.

The alignment of our mission, values, and business goals is our “secret sauce.” We strive to live by our core values of Accountability, Dedication, Authenticity, and Impact which inform our behavior and the key business decisions we make. Focusing on what’s most important allows us to create a better quality of work, operate more efficiently, deliver desired results, build stakeholder confidence, and support our community while remembering to have fun along the way.
 
Join us on our journey as we continue to cultivate relationships, elevate knowledge, and increase impact. Together, we are redefining the cannabis experience and building a brighter, more informed, and inclusive future for all.

Welcome to Mavuno, where passion meets purpose, and possibilities are endless.
