3 in 10 people who consume ma*****na develop cannabis use disorder.

Daily use has grown faster than occasional use. And today's products are up to 90% THC.

We are proud to welcome Nadine Smith to the Picture Motion Impact Advisory Board. Nadine is the President and CEO of Color Of Change, the nation's largest online racial justice organization. 🎉

Nadine was the founding Executive Director of Equality Florida, a TIME 100 Most Influential People honoree, and one of the most effective civil rights strategists in the country.

Over three decades on the frontlines, she has stopped harmful legislation, built durable grassroots movements, and turned state-level fights into national conversations, including coining the term "Don't Say Gay" and driving nearly $3 billion in earned media during Florida's 2022 legislative session.

Her work has always been intersectional, linking the fights for LGBTQ+ rights, racial equity, reproductive freedom, and voting rights as connected fronts in the same struggle for justice.

Our Impact Advisory Board exists to root our campaigns in the expertise of people who are actually doing the work and Nadine embodies exactly that.

We could not be more grateful to have her voice shaping how we show up for the communities and clients we serve. Welcome Nadine! 👋🏽
