Female Leaders in the Cannabis Industry

 

Each woman has carved out her own unique space in the cannabis industry.

This is a sign of the future, as women from all over will have the opportunity to take their skills and use them towards being movers and shakers in the evolving cannabis space.

There are many different areas in the cannabis industry from Travel agents that book 420 friendly voyages (checkout Front Row Travel), chefs that fill our bellies with infused edibles, and farmers that supply us with quality cannabis flower. 

So, without further ado let us tell you about some of our absolutely favorite Cannabis entrepreneurs and advocates! 

Entrepreneur - Advocate - CannaMom

Whitney Beatty, Josephine & Billies, Supernova Women

Successful entertainment industry executive turned cannabis storage designer, Whitney Beatty of @thehighmommylife is the CEO of Apothecarry Brands and “Josephine and Billies”, the new retail establishment curated especially for WOC.  In addition to those two innovative companies, Beatty serves on the board of Supernova Women. 

Beatty was inspired to create Apothecarry designs by the lack of stylish and safe cannabis storage systems and a disdain for storing medicine in a shoebox. After confirming her belief with other like-minded cannabis smokers, that there was a gap in storage solutions for their cannabis stash, she designed the first sleek and sexy storage and humidity system designed to safely keep cannabis at its freshest, most optimum quality while providing luxury tools and humidity control for the discerning connoisseur. 

Josephine and Billies is her most recent endeavor and is the nation's first dispensary designed by and for women of color. Located in LA, J&B is, “a callback to the Jazz Age, to the pearls of Josephine Baker and the poetry of Billie Holiday. It’s a trip back to the “Teapads” in Black communities of the 20s and 30s where folx would commune to enjoy jazz and cannabis while feeling connected, relaxed, valued, and safe.” 

Whitney’s overarching goal to empower and create safe spaces for people of color is weaved throughout her work in the cannabis industry. As a board member for Supernova Women, she advocates, educates, and creates networking opportunities that break the stigma of plant medicine use and spearheads programs that empower Black and Brown people to become self-sufficient shareholders in cannabis.

It should be no surprise that we think that Whitney Beatty is one of THE MOST inspiring entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry!

Corinne Tobias, Cannabis Coaching Institute, Wake and Bake

Corinne is the creator and writer behind one of the best and most popular educational and cannabis-infused recipe sites, Wake and Bake.Co. 

During a tumultuous time with her own personal health, Corinne started consuming cannabis recreationally before discovering that the plant was serving her medicinally too! This sent her on a path of utilizing cannabis as a wellness tool to heal her chronic pain and anxiety, lose over 60 lbs., avoid a life bound to a wheelchair from being in a chronically diseased state.

 Since beginning this journey over 10 years ago, Corinne has written several healthy cannabis cookbooks, created a signature online 30-day Healthy Cannabis Makeover to educate clients around the world, and she now trains students at the Cannabis Coaching Institute, so they can replicate these results.

As program director at the Cannabis Coaching Institute, Corinne transforms lives through knowledge that has a ripple effect through the coaches she trains, supports, and builds a positive community.  She empowers women with knowledge of terpenes, cannabinoids, and the steps to run their own coaching business, to become advocates in the cannabis industry. We sincerely love Corinne Tobias and appreciate ALL the work she does for the canna-community!

The web series, Smoke in the Kitchen with Mama Sailene, introduced her love of food, cannabis, and entertaining, to an international audience.

Women in Cannabis are Leading the Way

While these women have created empires through their work, we like to remind our community of advocating cannamoms and women, that we are all valuable with a role to play within the cannabis community.  At this point, every bit of advocacy and educational conversation moves us forward as a society to finally break the stigma of cannabis.

Remember the lifted ladies featured above started one step at a time before becoming the influential entrepreneurs they are now. 

How to Be a Woman that Advocates for Cannabis 

Whether you’ve already started your advocacy work or are still deciding how you’ll contribute in your unique way, we want to offer some suggestions of how you can become a kick-ass advocate.

Creating inclusive environments for women to learn the health benefits of cannabis. 

• When women figure out the secret sauce to thriving, by the use of plant medicine, they tend to want to share it with the world. Some channel that passion into education & 1-on-1 coaching to help others heal. 

Support women in their exploration of cannabis consumption. 

• Cannabis can be a bit overwhelming when you first approach it. Having someone to hold your hand and guide you can be a huge step in the direction of feeling comfortable exploring the benefits of the plant.  You can encourage people to dive more into cannabis by assisting them in getting started. Oftentimes, CBD is a very approachable starting point, and even smoking CBD can be a good launchpad to get to smoking THC. 

Be an example of cannabis advocacy. 

• As more women share how cannabis has improved their life, it fuels the courage in others to not only try it but then, also share their results with their community. 

Curate "healing circles" for women to share their stories. 

• Sometimes you need community. It can be isolating to feel like you are the only mom on the block smoking weed, when the fact is there are millions of women hiding what we should NOT be ashamed of.

Cannabis Education - Cannabinoids and Terpenes. 

Get certified to be a Cannabis Educator with a certification from Cannabis Coaching Institute. The more you know, the more you can educate others on all the benefits of the cannabis plant and so much more!

The Future of Cannabis is Female

We are amazed by the work that these women are doing in the cannabis space. Many have forged their own way into new sectors of the industry that we're not even in existence before. It is no surprise that women can take on multiple projects, tend to a family and also create new areas to innovate and evolve. 

We hope that these women's stories inspire you to take action.

We are stronger by working together and uplifting others including lady Cannabis.
