Using Technology to Elevate the Health and Cannabis Conversation with Aliza Sherman

“As women, we are often the caregivers of our families, our aging parents, even our ailing friends. We must also take care of ourselves so we can handle juggling the many aspects of our lives. We are at the Epicenter of Care for our loved ones and ourselves. We believe that women are the driving force to bring cannabis wellness to the mainstream. We aim to empower as many women as possible with quality information and supportive communities to enhance their exploration of cannabis for a healthier, happier life.” - Ellementa Mission Statement -

Aliza Sherman is the publisher of HerCannaLife.com, a website showcasing women in the cannabis industry. She is also the CEO of Ellementa, a women’s health company focused on cannabis and CBD. Her professional journey, prior to committing herself to elevating women in the emerging cannabis industry, included starting the first woman-owned, full-service Internet company Cybergrrl, Inc; the first global Internet networking organization for women, Webgrrls International; and was named by Newsweek one of the “Top People Who Matter Most in the Internet.” All these accolades in 1995!  And she hasn’t slowed down.

Not one to let artificial barriers stop her, in 2009 Aliza was named one of the “Most Powerful Women in Technology.” Now she is breaking barriers in cannabis as an author, web pioneer and empowered voice for women. The ladies talk about educating women, finding community and what’s going on in Alaska.
