Speaker: Tiffanee J. Dewberry, Founder of MJ Maven
TOPIC: Cannabis Pod Casts
Sunshine mixed with a little hurricane, built from fire, passionate and motivated with relentless determination -- introducing MJ Maven. She is many things: a devoted Aries; creative social entrepreneur; social media ninja; lifelong music lover; pop culture aficionado; friendly problem solver; proud beer evangelist; thinker. MJ Maven is a woman who lives her life by two simple tenets: 1) a lack of passion is fatal; and 2) live a life of purpose and significance. Growing up in Northern California, MJ had a typical safe suburban life, a great upbringing, lots of friends, and a solid education. Upon graduating high school, she began her pursuit of a career (and hopefully some fame) in the music industry. After a few years--and a few minor successes--she decided to return to school to pursue her bachelor's degree. In 2001, MJ met her soulmate at UC Davis, and…fast forward…a few years later, she was a very happy wife, mother of three boys, had great friends, family and still had time to travel. And despite being diagnosed with MS in 2006, she was healthy, and honestly…very much blessed. However…MJ knew deep down that she was still partly living in fear. She wasn’t living up to her full purpose or pursuing her true passion. Today MJ is a proud, self-proclaimed serial (and social) entrepreneur. While she wears many hats within the cannabis industry (primarily as a brand educator), she still somehow finds time to hosts events, educate others about cannabis and sexual wellness, and be the host of four podcasts. Much like everything in her life, she exudes passion and confidence while discussing the cultural and social impact of the brilliantly irreverent television series by the same name. MJ Maven. Compassion with passion.
