Oakland Hyphae

Reggie brings an unmatched wealth of experience to the confluence of politics, advocacy, and the emerging realm of psychedelic and medicinal fungi. With more than ten years deeply involved in political campaigns, ranging from local city council contests to steering presidential elections, Reggie has a proven track record of effecting change.

On the West Coast, Reggie played a crucial role in reshaping Oakland public schools by collaborating with the Black Organizing Project, advocating for the replacement of police with guidance counselors. As the campaign manager for western and southwestern states with Color of Change P.A.C., he successfully turned Nevada blue, leaving a lasting impact on the political landscape.

Beyond the realm of politics, Reggie has established himself as a consultant in the global mushroom industry, working closely with major cultivators in the United States and The Netherlands. Notably, he provided crucial guidance for establishing the largest commercial mushroom farm and cutting-edge testing lab in Jamaica.

In the past two years, Reggie founded Oakland Hyphae, a pioneering entity that hosted the Psilocybin Cup and The Oakland Psychedelic Conference, establishing itself as a central hub for impactful psychedelic events in 2021. Co-founding Hyphae Labs, Reggie leads the way in psychedelic mushroom potency testing, contributing to the advancement of the industry.

Expanding his ventures, Reggie founded Hyphae Nootropics, offering a variety of adaptogenic medicinal fungi, including Cordyceps and Lion’s Mane. Additionally, Reggie has ventured into the media landscape with the launch of Hyphae Leaks, a substack newsletter, and Hyphae Leaks podcast in partnership with Psychedelics Today. Through these platforms, Reggie aims to address taboo topics within the psychedelic community, fostering open discussions about subjects that are often overlooked or avoided.

His dedication to supporting smaller entities and preserving legacy plant medicine workers is evident in his advocacy efforts. Reggie actively works to create entry barriers, preventing large corporations from dominating the industry, a concern he observed in the cannabis sector.

Drawing on over a decade of experience in the U.S. cannabis industry, Reggie serves on the Advisory Board for Decriminalizing Nature. His steadfast commitment extends to social justice causes, notably The Movement for Black Lives, and advocating for the abolition of the police state. Reggie’s multifaceted journey reflects a relentless pursuit of positive change and a determination to safeguard the integrity of emerging industries while championing underrepresented voices.
