Finding Courage and Joy in Cannabis - Episode Two
We are leaping into our second part of the two-part series featuring the authors in the new anthology, Courage in Cannabis. Today we have another big show with Joyce speaking with Adilah Anwar, Joe Brennan and Dr. Jennifer Anderson, her co-authors in Courage in Cannabis. The book launch is now scheduled for December 13th!
Adilah Anwar is a trailblazer who has spent the past twenty years building a career which she describes as being on a non-traditional trajectory. From creating global campaigns for niche industries like solar and off-grid homes, to founding a global fashion brokerage in 2008, where she worked with some of the world's top luxury fashion houses in Milan, Italy. Adilah is a certified product owner, a global business system analyst, and a senior consultant at Deloitte Consulting. But her passion for the cannabis industry is why she was invited by Dr. Bridget Williams to share her story in the Courage in Cannabis anthology.
Dr. Jennifer Anderson is a physician in Canada, a mom and an advocate. Her cannabis story begins with her son’s illness but doesn’t end there. She shares with Joyce her mission of pushing boundaries in cannabis care, and why she knows cannabis can bring a spark of life to those who need it most.
Joe Brennan’s cannabis story is also one of health, but that of his dad and uncle. Following their deaths in 2013 he discovered CBD and that was the beginning of his journey to help others.
And thank you Courage in Cannabis for your support.
