Anna Kaplan: Building Community, Equity & Creativity in Cannabis
In this episode of The Women in CannaBusiness podcast, we sit down with Anna Kaplan, founder and CEO of SugarTop Buddery and SugarTop Distribution, to explore how she blends art, music, and community into every facet of her work in the cannabis industry.
Anna shares her journey from launching SugarTop Buddery with her brother in 2014 to leading a diverse portfolio of brands through SugarTop Distribution. She discusses her mission to foster equity in cannabis by uplifting small businesses, creating collaborative opportunities, and supporting underrepresented voices in the industry.
With nearly a decade of experience, Anna has held influential leadership roles, including serving on the Board of Directors for the Oregon Cannabis Association, leading the nonprofit Women Leaders in Cannabis, and founding the Eugene chapter of Tokeativity.
We talk about the evolution of Oregon’s cannabis market, the importance of building a brand rooted in culture and community, and how creative collaboration can drive both social change and business success.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, advocate, or industry veteran, Anna’s story offers a powerful reminder that cannabis is more than a product — it’s a movement.
