Elizabeth Becker Using Her Voice and Making a Difference
Elizabeth Becker is a tenacious and passionate Canadian cannabis advocate. Elizabeth is an internationally recognized and award-winning writer/director and is now a disruptor at the intersection of cannabis, hospitality and technology.
In 2018, when Canada became the first G7 country to federally legalize cannabis at the recreational level, Elizabeth saw an opportunity to support a stigma-free cannabis lifestyle and cultivate a globally connected cannabis positive community. So she jumped from 25 years as a writer and director in film and television to build HiBnB, an online marketplace dedicated to growing the cannabis community by providing four pillars of engagement.
Joyce speaks with Elizabeth about creating HiBnB, the importance of having a mom with entrepreneurial passion, and what it’s like to be a pioneer in the burgeoning canna tourism world.
Joyce also gives a shout out to Wendy Brazil the author of the children’s book Why Mommy Gets High, and gives the details of the June 15th Canna Mom event in Boston being held from 6-10 pm at the Boston Winery.
