Scheril Murray Powell on Passion, Purpose and Personal Contribution
Speaking with us today from Florida is the president of the cannabis consulting firm Green Sustainable Strong. Scheril Murray Powell is an Agricultural and Cannabis attorney who was named one of the top twelve cannabis attorneys in Florida. In addition to being an accomplished attorney, Scheril is an advocate and cannabis radio personality. Attorney Murray Powell is the kind of lawyer who makes Joyce proud to be one too. Scheril’s belief that “practicing law and advocacy for the disadvantaged go hand in hand” is why she is such a powerful advocate in this new world of cannabis.
Scheril credits her own success to her hard working and strict Jamaican parents, and stays motivated by remembering that her son is watching and knowing she needs to be the light that he follows. And even though the conversation was a cut a little short, Scheril was able to share with Joyce her dream of becoming the Reverend Murray Powell someday!
