About

I'm an OG, with 25+ years of experience in security and fintech. A year ago, I saw my friend's life transform when she started using CBD for her chronic pain. It was like a miracle, and I knew that I had to be part of spreading the word. Unfortunately, big social media have restrictive platform policies that prohibit cannabis content and shadow-ban folks, and let’s not forget the stigma influenced by Hollywood and Big Pharma! That's why I got into the cannabis social startup scene - to create a platform where people can learn, share, and connect with likeminded people. It's not just about building a business – If I can combine my passion for education and social justice with my desire to make a positive impact on people's lives, I’d be a very happy camper!
