Celebrating International Women’s Day at Proper
March 6, 2026

Today is International Women's Day, and we wanted to shine a light on just a few of the women across our organization who deserve far more than a single day of recognition. Their roles and stories are all unique, but a clear throughline emerges when you hear them: a deep passion and commitment to providing the highest quality cannabis products, and an unwavering determination to pave their own path forward while lifting up the women around them.

Kaylee has worked in the cannabis industry for 5 years, all of which have been spent at Proper! Her favorite Proper product is our flower, specifically the strains Ecto Cookies and Rainbow Belts 2.0.
“Knowing that I can help provide natural relief to people is what brought me to the industry but the dedication, passion, and connection is what has kept me here. I’m surrounded by people who feel the same and it’s a privilege that I get to learn from them everyday.”

Brittany has worked in the cannabis industry for 5 years, all of which have been spent at Proper! Her favorite Proper product is our Tiger’s Milk flower.
“Being a woman in the industry, I feel that I have a commitment to the women around me. I want to support and uplift them, and I want to see them achieve unlimited successes”.

Mia has worked in the cannabis industry for 4 years, spending the last 2.5 years with Proper. Her favorite Proper product is our BHO (badder).
“My goal is for the products that I work with to be products that make someone take a moment & enjoy it. I get to play a hand in offering safe, tasty, smooth, quality made dabs. I'm grateful to be able to share that art with the state of Missouri”

Alice has worked in the cannabis industry for 5 years, and at Proper for 4.5 years. Her favorite Proper product is the Honeybee Edibles Peanut Butter & Jelly Chocolate bar.
“Being a woman in the cannabis industry means stepping into a space that is still being built and having the courage to help shape it. This industry is complex, fast-growing, and often unpredictable, and women are not just participating in it, we are also influencing how it evolves. It also means intentionally creating opportunities for other women to rise, to lead boldly, and to know they belong at every table where decisions are being made.”

Becca has worked in the cannabis industry for 4 years, and has been with Proper for all of that time! Her favorite Proper product is Daily Driver 1/8ths.
“Before working in cannabis and legalization, I was always a person with a secret. Getting to be my authentic self at work and connecting with people who have the same passion for Cannabis has been transformative.”

Abby has worked in the cannabis industry for 5 years, and has spent the last 2 years at Proper. Her favorite Proper product is Banana OG Rosin, specifically for its social and focused effects.
“I’ve prided myself on my ability to adapt and thrive in chaos, and the cannabis industry has given me more confidence and understanding of my abilities and opportunities. Representation is the simplest way to say it- ultimately being in this industry brings me a sense of self. Women belong in this space, our physical responses to cannabis are unique and we are finding different ways to address, treat and navigate medical conditions or life changes unique to women. In my work, I am continuously aware of my representation as a woman and queer woman.”

Naomi has worked in the cannabis industry for 5 years, and been with Proper since the very beginning! Her favorite Proper product is the Honeybee Sour Watermelon Passionfruit gumdrops.
“I started at Proper when there were no walls in our dispensaries, our brands were still just concepts on paper, and we worked from the floor of a basement with big ideas and even bigger determination. There was no roadmap—just a shared belief in what this industry could become and a willingness to build it from the ground up. The creativity, resilience, and collaboration women have brought to cannabis have not only helped businesses grow, but have also helped define the culture of the industry itself. Seeing so many talented women build, innovate, and lead with intention has been deeply inspiring—and being part of that story is something I’m incredibly proud of.”

Sarah has worked in the cannabis industry for 4.5 years, and has been with Proper that entire time. Her favorite Proper product is our All-In-One Live Rosin vapes for their superior flavor and convenience.
“I'm genuinely grateful to turn my passion for this plant into my profession. And beyond that, I want to use this opportunity to help shape an industry where more women have a seat at the table, not just as employees, but as leaders and decision-makers. Our industry is constantly evolving, which has pushed me to stay flexible and continuously grow. But what's had the biggest impact on me is the collaboration with my team, colleagues across various departments, wholesale customers, and industry peers. Those relationships have been incredibly valuable, both professionally and personally.”

Dani has worked in the cannabis industry for 5 years, and has been with Proper for a year and a half. Her favorite Proper products are our concentrates, especially “any of our Rosins, because I'm a dab girly and our Rosin is top shelf!
“Being a woman in the cannabis industry means supporting other women, uplifting each other, and celebrating wins as a team! The Missouri Cannabis Industry has given me a purpose. With the knowledge I've acquired, I have been able to help so many people understand how cannabis can help them live their best life.”
