Founder & Owner: Brooke M. Westlake, B.A., M.A.

Brooke led a successful 20-year professional career in healthcare, both in the public and private sector. The last 10 years of her healthcare career included business development/management, leadership, client retention, regulation, compliance, contract creation/negotiations, new product development/implementation, social media/marketing, and spokesperson/ambassador. Her career path then shifted into the cannabis industry after she completed her master’s degree later in life while pregnant with her second child. 


During the business planning and development process for a cannabis testing lab, Brooke realized the need for a national expo for women in the cannabis industry. Putting movement into action, the Women in Cannabis Expo was developed and launched in January of 2020. WICE provides an event space for women to connect, inspire and learn together. The first event was schedule for September of 2020, but due to COVID-19, it was postponed to September of 2021. After its successful completion, Brooke launched four incredible expos around the United States in 2022. In 2023, Brooke postponed events after being casted for Television as the first woman CEO in cannabis industry. The full season and brand-new game show, "We Are Family" can be watched on Fox & Hulu. She was specifically casted due to being a woman CEO in the cannabis industry. That is a piece of cannabis history and a game changer!

She has since been on the road to recovery and cannabis has helped play a critical role for her health and wellness. She counts her blessings every day with gratitude for her life and her children's lives.
