Proceeds of all Tea Pad events fund the Tea Pad Scholarship for Black Entrepreneurship. Scholarship funds will be distributed twice a year to student providing her opportunity to learn skills necessary to become a leader, an innovator and an entrepreneur.  The first scholarship will be awarded to a student enrolled at Morgan State University School of Business. 

The "tea pad" is part of a very rich history of cannabis (marijuana) in the African-American community in New York City and the jazz scene of the 1920's and 30's . It was a dynamic time in American history. 

Women of all color got the right to vote in 1920.

And, during this time the United States government launched an aggressive campaign of 

marijuana prohibition, which had catastrophic impact on black and brown communities for decades to come. Tea pads were convivial speakeasy style  spaces where people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds could 

come together free from the violence of prohibition.
