BRAND PARTNERSHIPS

“I believe we must include the historically excluded global majority because that bolsters the overall health of the collective. I use my platform with purpose to push for diversity and equality. Biodiversity is health and equity is essential for survival. Through cannabis we can acknowledge oppressive social constructs that maintain imbalance and take action to push the culture toward regenerative futures.”
