“As a woman owned business, the partnership with International Cannabis Association and the CWCBExpo with my firm creates a wonderful opportunity for women around the world to follow in the footsteps of Pauline Sabin from the 1930’s who led a group of dedicated women to overturn alcohol prohibition; today, we are making history working towards the end of cannabis prohibition,” states Ms. Shuman.

As an entrepreneur, it’s exciting to be on the ground floor of the cutting edge of making news and witnessing the convergence of women, celebrity and cannabis culture,” exclaimed Ms. Shuman.
