On this week's episode of The Canna Mom Show Joyce and her co-host Amie Searles speak with Samantha Montanaro, the energetic and passionate co-founder and chief operating officer of Tokeativity in Portland, Oregon. Sam shares how she came to host regular events like The Oregon Cannabis Industry Meet Up and Puff Pass and Paint Portland and provided a private cannabis friendly space for dispensaries, farms and processors to host employee trainings, team building events and parties to celebrate their successes. Samantha is a multi-media artist, event coordinator, musician and, of course, mom who is passionate about community, cannabis and feminine empowerment. The community Samantha built through Prism House became an epicenter for Oregon cannabis social culture. In 2017, Samantha expanded her regular repertoire of events by partnering up with Lisa Snyder to launch Tokeativity, the world wide cannabis community for women. Joyce and Amie were lucky enough to meet Samantha last spring during her East Coast visit when she was in Massachusetts promoting the New England Tokeativity week. They share their insights into how to have the “cannabis conversation” and what it looks like to be a cool canna mom.

So many laughs were had on this episode. It was great to catch up with "IllZ" and talk shop. The last time we spoke on mic was a couple years ago. A lot has changed for Team Illz. She has always been an advocate and very outspoken for the voiceless. She has recently took on the role of the east coast ambassador of an amazing community of females called Tokeativity. Based in Portland, Oregon, USA, Tokeativity was created by Lisa Snyder and Samantha Montanaro in 2016 with an intention to nurture a safe space for women to connect, learn and create. Whether they are a curious first timer or daily consumer, all women are welcome to join in our community in person or online. Illz is a perfect addition to their team. She is highly motivated, always thinking outside the box and cares a great deal for others. I am honored to know such a strong person. Nothing can nor will stop her. Be on the look out.
