Moving to Oklahoma has been a huge change for me. I am still processing all of the setbacks, challenges and infinite rewards that are part of being in business for yourself.Being an entrepreneur is not for the faint of heart. It is hard work and requires patience, vigilance, and sacrifices.
It took a few months longer than anticipated to get Bakers Medical cannabis dispensary and clone nursery up and running in Oklahoma City. I was extremely stressed about what the delays were costing us and am now elated (and exhausted) that we got it open before the end of the year!
A week after the dispensary opened, I am happy to release the first episode of Season 3 of The Herb Walk with Jessica Baker! The season begins with Arcillia Miller, the program coordinator of OK Women Cann. The mission of OK Women Cann is to serve and empower women, providing women with opportunities to network and connect, educate, and promote a strong female representation within our industry.
OK Women Cann provides vital community outreach with their Little Buds and Sweet Sweet Sisters. The Little Buds Project is specifically created to provide financial assistance to eligible families so their children can start or continue to receive the medical benefits derived through medical cannabis, cod/hemp products. The Little Buds Project offers payments for medical recommendation office visits, as well as, further education on the benefits and administration of cannabis as medicine. The Sweet Sisters program, along with community support, hopes to reach Oklahoma women who may not have the ability or opportunity to become Cannamed educated and/or licensed due to disability or financial constraints.
A huge thank you to Arcillia Miller and OK Women Cann for taking the time to share their work with us.
Whether you are traveling to see friends and family or having a quiet holiday at home, may you be filled with the warmth of the season.
