Feeling helpless with traditional medicine, she used her scientific background to develop a pure and potent proprietary cannabidiol (CBD) formula for her son.From her groundbreaking work in cardio oncology and her son's miraculous recovery using a self-created cannabinoid formula, to her advocacy for integrated science and her acumen for fast-tracked research, she highlights her unique blend of ancient wisdom and modern science. Discover her insights on collaboration, cellular uniqueness, and the importance of scientific justification, all while balancing a demanding career with a large family, including her son BJ's "38 Foundation."She balances her career and travel with being a mother of five and a wife to Roy “Gramps” Morgan, a Grammy award-winning reggae artist. She prioritizes being present when she is home.
