Ariane Kirkpatrick has made a name for herself in two male-dominated industries and is encouraging others to do the same.
CLEVELAND — As Women's History Month comes to a close, a Cleveland-based entrepreneur is encouraging others to follow their dreams and be pioneers for change.She's succeeding in both and inspiring others to do whatever they put their mind to.Whether it's in the boardroom surrounded by her co-workers and constituents or out and about in the community, Kirkpatrick works to make sure her presence is positively felt.
Her company is the only minority-owned medical cannabis company in the state to be vertically integrated, have a license and certification to dispense, grow and process cannabis."I was compelled to make a difference as soon as my partners asked me,” Kirkpatrick said. "If I kept that noise of people thinking the negative about me, it just held me down and I couldn't be the positive person I truly am,” Kirkpatrick said.
They were selected by the Guardians to be part of the major, multi-million-dollar Progressive Field upgrades.Kirkpatrick admits both businesses are perceived as non-traditional career paths for a woman of color."The first thing is believe. You have to believe that you can do it. And then you really have to step out on faith,” Kirkpatrick said.
