No legacy is built alone.
Stephanie Rose stands at the heart of this story — a sister of survival who helped build the foundation of cannabis advocacy, journalism, and culture.

Together, Stephanie and Miriam began their journey at UC Berkeley, meeting at Sproul Hall and finding connection through early punk shows, underground activism, and the first heartbeat of a movement.

Stephanie’s work spanned generations of activism, art, and rebellion — from supporting June Jordan’s Poetry for the People, to empowering emerging authors, to her behind-the-scenes advocacy in the publishing world through Jane Klein Represents.

Whether uplifting visionary poets, championing authors who lacked traditional platforms, or collaborating with pioneers like Ed Rosenthal, Stephanie moved quietly but powerfully through spaces where women’s creative labor too often went uncredited.

She carried the dreams, the risks, and the tireless spirit of building new spaces for marginalized voices — a revolution invisible to most, but essential to all.

Though the years have brought challenges, Stephanie’s spirit, creativity, and foundation remain vital.

This archive, this sisterhood, this legacy — would not exist without her.

Stephanie Rose is not just part of history.
She is history.

And she always will be.
