It’s a joy to celebrate the accomplishments and talents of this exceptional woman today, Linda Bell. The CFO of Halo Infusions

What’s a struggle you have faced as a woman in the industry?
It has much been like any other industry for women frankly because you know it’s about pay level, not having equal pay, it’s about lack of advancement. Also, the lack of female leadership. I think a lot of the industry came from, I’ll call it “the dark side,” and that has been traditionally men or a majority of men and as they moved into the grows and into the legal markets there was a lack of women. I feel fortunate that we work for a company that right out the gate we were paying a decent wage and it didn’t matter if you were male or female. We have promoted from within so, we’ve given a lot of opportunities to women over the 10 years we have been in business.

What’s your favorite Halo Infusions product?
I have a few that I really like and use with some frequency. The Canna Confections Vanilla Caramels were sort of my idea ’cause I like caramels. For sleep that is what 1 tend to use them for or body aches or body pain. The Cannabliss Gummies really help with sleep without getting too high. You can function well and still get some relief. Our Chronic Health Pain Relief Ointment is a topical so there is no inebriation if you will. I was really surprised a topical could relieve pain in the way that it does.

Celebrating Carmen Hamilton the COO and Founder of IO Extracts

@saturnkushh, @ioextracts

What’s a struggle you have faced as a woman in the industry?
Proving my knowledge, skills and abilities. I work with my husband and many times when he is accompanying me somewhere, people tend to direct everything to him. Many times he has to redirect them to me. I feel women in male-dominated industries have to work twice as hard for half the recognition.

Why did you want to work in the cannabis industry?
I’ve always had a passion and love for cannabis, but never had thoughts of working in the industry. After meeting my husband and realizing I was organically and considerably really great at distillation, the rest was history. I fell in love. Taught me to always expect the unexpected, just never know where you’ll find your purpose.

How do you empower other women in the cannabis industry?
I have employed many women in my business and am a big supporter to all of the industry’s women in cannabis functions. I want IO extracts to be a primarily women ran company! I want to keep breaking the stigma of women’s capabilities all around and eventually mentor other women in extraction!

What’s your favorite Halo Infusions product?
I love Aunt Ellies Brownies! They’re delicious! I also really love the quality of the topicals. The full spectrum is always a winner for me!

What’s a struggle you have faced as a woman in the industry?
I think it’s been really challenging to have men look at you as an equal and a lot of times we get taken advantage of because we are women. Even other women have done this to other women. You know what I mean? It’s learning to trust the right people and to go into business with the right people. To make alliances as women we need to follow our gut and our instinct. Sometimes things look really shiny and pretty and you wanna go for it but do a little gut check first.

Why did you want to work in the cannabis industry?
My daughter Yazzy, who is now 21, back when she was 14 years old she had spinal fusion surgery and was prescribed opioids and she fell terribly ill due to the prescription. She had an adverse effect of her GI system and it completely paralyzed her stomach so she has a surgical tube that has been placed in her stomach where she gets formula and most of her nutrition. It’s totally different for us. So, obviously life is completely different and as a mom just being desperate looking for other options to help my daughter with her nausea, pain, and suffering. I found cannabis! I saw other parents were using it for cancer related issues and they had similar symptoms my daughter was having from gastroparesis. We tried it and it worked amazingly. Almost immediately we saw a difference and i felt so compelled to share this message with other parents who might also be skeptical and unsure what they should do.

How do you empower other women in the cannabis industry?
Via Blunt Brunch. It is an event series for executive women in cannabis and through our events we are able to have blunt conversations about things that women are going through. We come together as a community to help uplift each other and I feel like your vibe attracts your tribe and that’s exactly what Blunt Brunch is. It’s a true testament of what Adelia and I envisioned for ourselves and we are now in 5 different states. Hosting big national events with hundreds of women that come from all over the nation. It’s really exciting to have a space where women can be vulnerable but also be celebrated.

What’s your favorite Halo Infusions product?
Of course the Pure & Simple Juices!

What’s a struggle you have faced as a woman in the industry?
As a woman in the industry I have faced the struggle of being taken seriously and speaking with authority and that resonates with the group of people that I am with.

What’s your favorite part about working in the industry?
I really love how dynamic it is. The ever changing regulations and challenges is something I love to face head on, climbing the mountain and looking back at how far you have come. Everything that we’ve been able to accomplish in such a heavily regulated and generally unsupported space really brings me a lot of joy and enrichment.

How do you empower other women in the cannabis industry?
It is deeply important for me to recognize all women in the industry, find opportunities for those ladies and even start a mentorship program through Pause. At Pause we are pairing women who already hold leadership positions with those who are seeking something similar. Throughout my career I have always very intentionally reached across, behind, around, everywhere I can, to bring more women along and I feel that is very much our responsibility as other women in this space.

What’s your favorite Halo Infusions product?
Aunt Ellie’s Daily Dose Brownie!
