Sour Moonshine and Feeling Lucky #4: The Maine Women's Connection

"The Maine Women's (neé Cannabis) Connection is a dynamic collective based in Maine with a steadfast commitment to fostering the growth and success of female entrepreneurs while uplifting minorities within our community. Our primary focus is on community building and the celebration of local achievements. Recognizing the substantial contributions of women in business, we aim to amplify their hard work and dedication by providing a platform that highlights their accomplishments. Through a supportive network, we strive to create an inclusive space where everyone, regardless of background, can thrive and be acknowledged for their valuable contributions. In line with our dedication to community empowerment, we have established a meaningful initiative to give back. We are proud to introduce a grant specifically designed for women in business, with the intention of fostering community development. A portion of our event profits, 7%, will be allocated to this grant, ensuring that aspiring entrepreneurs have the financial support needed to pursue their goals. Additionally, we will dedicate 3% of the profits to community awards, recognizing and celebrating outstanding achievements within our local neighborhoods. Through these endeavors, we aim to create a positive impact, empowering individuals and contributing to the collective prosperity of our community." Haley Knaub and Hallie Mitchell are entrepreneurs from Portland, Maine. Together, they founded the Maine Women’s Connection, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering women and underrepresented groups through support, networking, and community-building initiatives.
