Description

We are all on a journey to find our paths in lives, but what If I told you sometimes your path finds you?! The crazy journey you're on right now will eventually make sense.There will be things in your life that you don’t understand when you're experiencing it, but it all comes together. Meet Dasheeda Dawson (The WeedHead)  - an ivy-league trained cannabis executive, digital growth hacker and brand equity builder. She is a corporate-to-cannabis cross-over pioneer with a mission to legitimize, stabilize and diversify the rapidly growing cannabis industry. Dasheeda started her career journey in medical school - but 3.5 years in, decided it wasn't for her and set off to forge a new path for herself in business. In 2016, Dasheeda officially traded in her career with Fortune 500 companies like Target and Victoria's Secret to become a cannabis entrepreneur and industry thought leader. She is currently the Founder & President of MJM Strategy, a digital-focused strategic consulting firm.
