JUSHI AND REAL HOUSEWIVES STAR STACEY RUSCH LAUNCH ‘SHAYO,' A LIFESTYLE INSPIRED CANNABIS BRAND
BOCA RATON, FL, UNITED STATES, June 19, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Jushi Holdings Inc. ('Jushi' or the 'Company') (CSE: JUSH) (OTCQX: JUSHF) is partnering with entrepreneur, philanthropist, and Real Housewives of Potomac star Stacey Rusch on a new cannabis-infused wellness brand, Shayo. Shayo, named after the Nigerian term meaning 'to be happy,' blends elevated ingredients with a lifestyle-forward ethos to deliver a one-of-a-kind edible experience to Virginia's medical cannabis market. Shayo products are available HERE.
Not only is Rusch making waves in the wellness industry with this launch, but she's leaving her mark in the history books as well. Rusch is the first Black woman to create a cannabis centered brand in the state of Virginia, a milestone which aligns beautifully with her passion for wellness and cultural exploration.
'Shayo is about joy, rhythm, and living life fully,' says Rusch. 'I'm so proud to bring this brand to my home state and help people discover a delicious new path to wellness.'
Two distinct rosin-infused fruit chews are now available, each designed with a target cannabinoid profile and thoughtful flavor pairing. Set your intention for the day with Rise (Blood Orange Pomegranate), in which bright citrus and tart pomegranate intertwine, giving you a complex flavor that is grounded and strikes a remarkable balance. Rise showcases a unique 1:2 ratio of THC:CBG. Manifest your perfect dreamscape with Rest (Berry Vanilla), in which red and dark berry flavors fold into soft and floral vanilla tones that are ideal to wrap up any day. The 1:2 ratio of THC:CBN helps your body let go of what no longer serves. Both varieties are vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, and made with natural fruit purées, offering a premium edible that's as functional as it is flavorful.
'We're thrilled to introduce Shayo to patients across Virginia,' says Jim Cacioppo (Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, and Founder of Jushi Holdings Inc.). 'Shayo was born out of a shared vision of wellness, flavor, and empowerment—and we believe this brand will deeply resonate with our community.'
Rusch and Jushi Holdings Inc. are officially holding the Shayo launch at the Beyond Hello dispensary in Fairfax, Virginia today, where patients can also connect with Rusch and be the first to learn about the product. Shayo products will be available at all six Beyond Hello locations in Virginia, as well as other select medical dispensaries across the Commonwealth.

Kari Lake declares US Agency for Global Media ‘rotten to the core,' sets 2026 shutdown goal: 'A boondoggle'
Kari Lake isn't backing down. In blunt testimony before Congress Wednesday, Lake declared the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), the $950 million agency for which she is the senior advisor overseeing Voice of America (VOA), is "rotten to the core" and on track to be gutted by 2026. "This place is rotten. It's rotten to the core," Lake told the House Oversight Committee. "President Trump has asked me to go in and help clean it up, and he's also issued an executive order to reduce this agency down to its mandate, to what is mandated, statutorily required. That's exactly what I'm doing. I don't care if they attack me." She's not acting alone. Lake provided Fox News Digital with a letter from House Oversight Chair James Comer, R-Ky., and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., demanding records on USAGM's foreign hires, conflicts of interest and its handling of disinformation and national security. President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to say, "Why would a Republican want Democrat 'mouthpiece,' Voice of America (VOA), to continue? It's a TOTAL, LEFTWING DISASTER — No Republican should vote for its survival. KILL IT!" Lake didn't hold back in describing what she found within USAGM. "It's really like a rotten piece of fish," she said. "And you're looking at it, and you're saying, 'Is there anything we can pull out of here and eat?' And it's best to just scrap the whole thing and start over." She argued that instead of defending American values abroad, the federally funded national and international news agency had become compromised with hostile actors potentially influencing what gets broadcast on the U.S. taxpayer's dime. "The [Chinese Communist Party] has more control over what we put out editorially than people who are management at the agency," Lake said. "Are any of these VOA employees who acted on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party ... still employed? It's possible. We're working to try to figure that out." She accused the grantees — including VOA, Radio Free Asia and the Open Technology Fund — of resisting oversight and stonewalling basic financial reviews. "Nearly $400 million, the hard-earned taxpayer dollars of hard-working American people, are going to these grantees, and they've stonewalled us from getting any information until the eleventh hour," Lake said. "Finally, last night, knowing I would be sitting here, they finally agreed to say, 'Oh, we'll let you look at our books now.' It's a joke what's going on." Lake found no shortage of support from Republicans on the committee, including Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., who said the agency should've been shut down years ago. "We might as well be riding a Model T down the middle of the street. It might be ... it looks good, and it brings back old memories, but, dadgum, it's not very efficient," Burchett said. Lake agreed, adding, "It's a relic." Democrats accused Lake of dismantling a strategic asset and repeating anti-VOA rhetoric similar to that used by China. Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Pa., said, "You just want to reduce it to its statutory minimum. And then you said … that it will be gone by 2026. You want it gone. The president wants it gone by 2026. ... You're a propaganda machine for the Trump administration." Dean said she had "no questions" for Lake, adding, "You have misled this committee. ... You've lost your credibility. You have poured it out in buckets." Rep. Julie Johnson, D-Texas, claimed layoffs would "cede all of our soft power in the world to our adversaries," arguing, "354 million people listen to [VOA] every week." Lake replied bluntly, "Those are government numbers. And I don't trust those numbers." Johnson shot back, "That's a sad state of affairs when you don't trust the government that you're representing." Lake defended the cuts, saying they follow the law and common sense. "We are doing what is statutorily required," she said. "The statutory minimum President Trump put forth in his executive order ... and that's what we're going to do." Rep. Young Kim, R-Calif., expressed concern that cutting grantee staff could weaken U.S. influence in hot spots like Iran and North Korea. "We can do it with a smaller staff.," Lake replied. "This newsroom should have been downsized a long time ago. … It's over. Too many people were working in the newsroom, and we've shrunk that down." She added that many grantee roles were redundant. "Why do we need RFA to be doing a Mandarin news service when we at VOA are doing Mandarin?" Lake said. Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., closed with a comparison. iHeartMedia runs a national operation at $90 million per year. USAGM's budget? Nearly $1 billion. Lake's closing message was direct. "We can do this smarter, leaner and with loyalty to American values," she said.
