Frances González is recognized as one of the leaders in the women’s entrepreneurs movement in Cannabis. With more than 15 years of experience in corporate telecommunications, operations and international relations in 2015 she decided to launch her own business in Puerto Rico as founder and executive director of Millennia Solutions, a provider of digital communication tools and solutions for business.

Through her educational journey, Frances launched Latinas Cannapreneurs, a non profit organization based in Puerto Rico with a mission to inspire, educate and elevate the latino community about the culture and industry of cannabis through education, activism and entrepreneurship. Through our network of partners and collaborators we provide educational tools and support to break down stigmas while promoting inclusiveness in the growing green age. Frances was also invited to speak on Cannabis entrepreneurship in Puerto Rico in May 2019 for Canna Ciencia 2019 in Bogota, Colombia, which is the largest cannabis conference in Latin America.
