Public Speaking
Cannabis and hashish expertise made vivid for live audiences.
On stage
A speaker who changes the temperature of the room.
The Dank Duchess makes hashish legible as technique, material culture, sensory practice, and living history. She speaks from more than two decades with cannabis, years spent teaching hands-on, and an international practice spanning cultivation rooms, classrooms, conferences, competitions, and community gatherings.
Her work carries authority without becoming sterile and invites audiences into technical subjects without flattening their complexity.
