Mskindness and Amie Carter Are Giving Hope And Providing Sanctuary
Joyce speaks with two power women who are making their mark in the cannabis world and are sharing their stories in the second edition of Courage in Cannabis.
Amie Carter is a mom on a mission. In 2018 Amie petitioned to list Autism as a qualifying condition for medical cannabis in Michigan after utilizing cannabis to help her son, and she has become a dedicated activist for cannabis for families in similar situations. Amie hopes to make access to cannabis and use easier across our country by working to help pediatric and adolescent patients gain the same equal rights as those who use traditional prescribed medicine. Amie’s dedication to helping others guided her to be a candidate for the Michigan State House of Representatives in 2022 and she continues to invest her voice in the ongoing cannabis conversations in Michigan.
Mskindness B.Ramirez is an industry veteran and master educator. She is the CEO of Club Kindness, a representative media network built to educate families, foster connections and sustain communities for social change. Mskindness is fueled by over twenty-years in the public education sector and the passionate desire to share inclusive health practices with her community. Joyce also asks her the story behind her wonderful children’s book, “The Root Family’s Very Special Garden.”
The Culture Corner:
Joyce recommends a new book by supreme court journalist Dahlia Lithwick, Lady Justice – Women, The Law and the Battle to Save America. The book highlights the stories of women who stepped up when needed and made a difference. Women like Stacey Abrams, Sally Yates and so many others.
