The Dank Duchess is a multifaceted artist who has chosen Cannabis and Hashish as her latest focus. A storyteller focused on Hashish, she massages words into intense narratives with all of the robustness and nuance of her hand rolled balls of cannabis resin. As a consummate educator, she adheres strongly to the motto, "Each one, teach one."
The Dank Duchess applies her 17 years of cannabis growing experience, priceless mentorship under Master Hashmaker Frenchy Cannoli, and fierce commitment to her art to fully immerse herself in the global cannabis industry; sharing insights, techniques, and innovations with growers and hashmakers around the world.
With dozens of feature length Hashish stories, how-to videos, public appearances, and Hashish education modules to her credit, The Dank Duchess has become an internationally recognized Hashish authority in 5 short years. Initially a cultivator, she has blossomed into a Hashish storyteller, maker, and media personality. Her distinct writing style, crafting intimate scenes that viscerally invoke the sights, smells, and effects of everything she relates, has graced magazines and books; including Weed World UK, Skunk Magazine, Cannabis Now, and anthologies by Ed Rosenthal.
Thoroughly enjoying being in front of the camera, Duchess has appeared on VICELAND's "Bong Appétit," (Seasons 1 & 3) as both a Hashmaker and celebrity judge, and filmed educational and entertainment segments for Greenflower Media. She has filmed hours of free tutorials; amassing on Instagram and YouTube more than 2 million watched minutes about her Hashmaking technique called The Duch Touch.
Duchess has served as a judge for prestigious international competitions such as The Monsters Cup, Terp Tower International, and Masters of Rosin in Barcelona and Copa Mexico in Mexico.
She is a provider of Hashish consultation and education services to small and large farms both in the United States and abroad. Duchess recently taught hashmaking in Mexico City and San Miguel de Allende as part of an education tour. She brought "The Duch Touch" back to California in the Spring and her hands-on teaching style has been well received by her inexperienced and professional students alike.
Duchess has applied her communication skills to a growing interest in public speaking. She was a featured speaker at the 2019 Sprint Plant Medicine Conference in Vancouver. She also served as a moderator for a panel highlighting the emerging voices of women of color in the psychedelic arena. At the 2019 Emerald Cup, she joined other women growers and producers on the panel titled "Not Your Mama's Cannabis."
Constantly filming, her camera takes it all in as her attention to media representation never wanes. Hundreds of images of her high end Hashish have titillated the senses of novices and connoisseurs alike as her discerning standard of aesthetics is always on display. Using social media, she urges people to take control of their personal healing by encouraging them to grow their own weed, make their own hash, and never stop believing in the health, beauty, and wellness that cannabis has to offer.
Cannabis is essential to her existence and with her dedication to an All Weed Everything lifestyle she has found a way to integrate it completely into her life. In her words, "My niche is Hashish. And cannabis flower fuels my power."
