Just ask Annie Iselin, senior director of operations at BOLD Team in Cotton Plant, or Danielle Buntyon, a former oil and gas industry employee who started her own hemp and cannabis companies in Tennessee and Arkansas.
Iselin relocated to Arkansas after some work experiences in cannabis-rich Colorado that did not meet her expectations. She uprooted her life to land in the rural Arkansas Delta with a cultivator that she says values her as a woman.
“I’m not into glass ceilings,” she said. “I like to break them open and be able to create a lane that I see for myself.”
