Dr. Chanda Macias: Championing Women, Policy, and Patient Access
We’re back for Season 3 — and we’re kicking it off with a powerhouse. Dr. Chanda Macias, Chairwoman and CEO of Women Grow and CEO of National Holistic Healing Center, joins us to talk about leading with purpose, pushing policy forward, and staying grounded through the chaos of the cannabis industry.
In this episode, Dr. Chanda shares how she transitioned from cancer research to cannabis reform, how she built one of the most impactful global women’s networks in the space, and why uplifting others is the foundation of her leadership. We discuss her advice to those just entering the industry, her approach to policy change, and the importance of resilience and rest.
As the first African American woman to own a multi-state vertically integrated medical cannabis company in the U.S., Dr. Chanda is changing the game — and lifting others while doing it.
This is a conversation about legacy, leadership, and showing up with intention.
