Lea Walters
A couple of years ago, Linda Delair started talking to Lea about John Trudell and his non-profit organization, Hempstead Project Heart. John and Linda met at the Green Festival a few months earlier, Nov 2012, talked about HEMP and about meeting again to talk more. So she invited Lea to join the meeting and their involvement in Hempstead Project Heart was born, circa Feb 2013.
In Nov 2013, once again at the Green Festival where we showed the movie Bringing It Home and had a booth about hemp, Lea was speaking with Kevin Danaher of Global Exchange and Green Festival about HEMP and what they were doing with it. He then called them: "Solutionaries". Love that word. He said to spread the word around, and keep developing the concept. Much better than being a Revolutionary who revolves around and stays in the cycle of life and death. She has adopted the title and even shares is on her biz card displayed as an Eco Solutionary.
The eco solution she has found is bio fiber in general but HEMP in particular. She learns something new about it every day and loves to talk about it.
Also Lea reminds us that, if you don't know about the song Hemp Can Save the World, google it!
Anna Owen
Working with the directors of the award winning hemp documentary "Bringing it Home", she's involved with organizing film screenings nationwide. In 2012 and 2013, she helped to support thousands of national events that inspired the public about the benefits of hemp nutrition, hemp products, and energy production. She also promotes research on the fiber potential of medical cannabis stalks produced in the Emerald Triangle.
As a result of the passage of hemp legislation in California and Nationally, university and college level agricultural research is now possible! Tri-purpose cropping is another area of interest. She's also constantly networking with land-based people and farmers to promote sustainable hemp production and processing. Overall, she works to see hemp evolve from a privileged consumer market to become accessible for people worldwide!
