PROTECT ASIAN WOMEN
.
Repost from @rogacheva_illustration
•
Swipe left 💭 Hate crimes and Coronavirus-related discrimination against the Asian community have increased since the beginning of the pandemic. As an artist, I would like to raise awareness of this issue occurring across the world and to support the #drawadottogether campaign.

For the next few weeks you can use your creativity to contribute to #drawadottogether project.

One of the suggested topics was to create a work of art that honours the Asian Talents (brands, models, influencers)

Here is my illustration for @prabalgurung ❤️

Introducing the host of our March #SirenNationSpeaks event: Samantha Montanaro (@prismhousepdx)! 💫

Samantha Montanaro is an entrepreneur, activist, musician, mother and thought leader in the global cannabis industry. Samantha is the co-founder and CEO of @tokeativity, a women’s empowerment and event network featuring a robust tech platform that brings communities around the world together on feminism, normalization of plant medicine and the self healing revolution. In 2015, she opened one of the first cannabis consumption event spaces - Prism House - after legalization in Oregon and has been a pioneer in advocating for the creation of social consumption regulations.

Samantha is also a talented musician and front for Portland based psychedelic folk pop band, Mama Sam and the Jam (@mamasamandthejam). Like Fleetwood Mac meets Mazzy Star, Mama Sam's catchy melodies and powerful harmonies over trippy guitar and groovy beats leaves listeners feeling high on vibes. The Jam features Carmen Paradise on bass, Nick Foltz on drums, Rachael Curtin singin' those harmonies and Mike Wiser on lead guitar. Mama Sam is a soulful songwriter who sings and plays guitar.

Samantha has been a panel moderator at Siren Nation events for four years, engaging in vibrant discussions with women in the #cannabiz. Along with hosting our “Creating with Cannabis” virtual workshop on March 14 (registration link in bio!) she will also be moderating a “State of the Arts” digital discussion presented by Siren Nation this coming May! 🎸🍁✨
