“The burgeoning Hemp industry has many women involved as activists and entrepreneurs. Perhaps it is because we are a renewed industry, or perhaps it is because there is opportunity, or maybe it is because women are of a nurturing nature and this is an earth nurturing plant. Whatever the reason, I am very proud to be among them.”
