By The DivaGals | March 17, 2025 | Celebrity & Culture

It’s women’s history month! Let’s meet women in Cannabis who are breaking boundaries via Sundae School’s new Women’s History Month campaign and docuseries, Women of Weed, which officially launched last week— spotlighting four bold, high-functioning femme creatives who are rewriting the rules of success (and smoking while doing it).

Take a look at the first episode here:

Cannabis culture has long sidelined women, reducing them to lazy stoner stereotypes, but these women prove that rest, creation, and ambition can coexist. The first episode drops today, featuring Patia Borja, Nimay Ndolo, Georgia-Rae Lyken, and Emily Lee—Women making a difference in tech, comedy, advocacy, and digital culture by embracing the plant that fuels their creativity and careers.

THE WOMEN OF WEED MINI-DOCUSERIES

The docuseries takes an unfiltered look at four women who refuse to compromise—on their success, their rest, or their right to exist exactly as they are. Each episode is a deep dive into their work, process, and refusal to be boxed in.

Patia Borja (she/her) – Multi-Media Artist, Activist: A cultural architect and digital agitator, Patia Borja built @patiasfantasyworld, a meme account turned cultural movement, where humor meets protest. She’s called out institutions, disrupted industries, and blurred the line between internet culture and real-world impact. For Borja, weed is both a weapon and a refuge—a way to sustain the energy it takes to keep breaking the rules.
Nimay Ndolo (she/her) – Software Developer, Content Creator: A software engineer by day, a cultural commentator by night. On TikTok, Nimay dissects New York’s shifting landscape—housing, race, modern dating—with wit and precision. She’s proof that tech and art, logic and creativity, can not only coexist but thrive. Cannabis is part of the balance, a tool for clarity, deep work, and a reminder that the best ideas come when you stop forcing them.
Georgia-Rae Lyken (she/her) – Comedian, Producer: Brooklyn-born and unfiltered, Georgia-Rae Lyken isn’t here to be polite. She’s built a career out of telling the truth loudly and making you laugh while they do it. Their comedy is sharp, personal, and uninterested in respectability politics. Weed? It’s part of the toolkit. A creative accelerant, a moment of stillness before the next punchline hits.

Emily Lee (she/her) – Cannabis Advocate, Influencer: Cannabis has built a multi-billion dollar industry, but the voices of femme are still an afterthought. Emily Lee is changing that. A public force in cannabis reform and policy, she isn’t just here to enjoy the product—she’s here to fight for it. Her advocacy is ‘; because she knows that in an industry still dominated by men, visibility is its form of protest.

“In popular culture, weed is often linked to masculinity, and the stigma around cannabis can particularly affect women and femmes, who face pressure to remain “pure” and avoid “devious” activities like consuming cannabis,” said Hee Eun Chung, Lead Producer and Photographer. “Through Women of Weed, we proudly showcase four high-achieving and high-functioning women who know how to get things done and when to rest — challenging the outdated glorification of hustle culture and constant productivity. Taking a break should not just be a reward after hard work but a necessity.”
