BRI SMITH
co-founder & survivor
"I didn't know rock bottom had a basement". -Bri
As a trauma and sexual assault survivor, Bri is a determined advocate for womxn to end the cycle of abuse and trauma. Co-founding this organization is very personal for her.
On an endless adventure to discover the culture of cannabis and the mysteries of the wilderness, Bri also periodically takes The Grass Class podcast across the U.S. uncovering the stories of the true warriors of cannabis advocacy. With the scamp camper as her traveling studio, and her dog Chubbers as her guide, she dives into the stories of entrepreneurs, home-growers, organizations, advocates, cannabis refugees, and everyday people healing and living in harmony with cannabis.
In her free time, you can find her in the wilderness with her dog, playing sand volleyball, volunteering for environmental groups, preparing for the birth of her first child, attending cannabis events, or loving on her family and friends.
SHANNON DEGROOMS
co-founder & survivor
"It is what it is, until it isn't anymore. Then it's something else." -Shannon
A wielder of words and collector of unpopular opinions, Shannon set out to destigmatize medicinal cannabis consumption through various forms of storytelling in 2017. Our fearless co-founder is a freelance writer at the intersection of cannabis and social-justice, advocate for sexual-assault survivors, and Executive Director of This is Jane Project.
When she’s not telling impactful stories about the modern cannabis consumer, she’s busy healing years of complex trauma, appreciating anything relating to tacos, and on Wednesday’s @8pm, watching Survivor.
Shannon is also the founder and editor of Cannabis for Breakfast - an online publication dedicated to community, healing, and justice through storytelling.
