Leah is a cannabis marketing and event production professional who has designed and hosted cannabis events in the Bay Area for several years. She is also a certified Ganjier. In person events are about creating space for connection. I believe we are stronger together and building community brings greater resiliency. My intention for these events is to create space for other women in the industry to feel supported, to develop relationships, and to tap into strength, healing and collective power with which to face all the challenges that the California cannabis industry can bring!
