As an aspiring photographer, Jennifer Skog chose a degree in Marketing to guide her in her creative entrepreneurial quest. After two decades of empowering the women in front of her lens, she was ready to evolve.

She quickly realized women were not represented positively in the Cannabis Industry all over the world. With an intense fire inside to lift the negative stigma, MJ Lifestyle Magazine came to life. MJ Lifestyle is the result of a community of women eager to share their knowledge, lessons learned, and triumphs. Much like the female Cannabis plant, women have fought for similar justices and continue to face stigmas and social inequalities. We believe in the strength of feminine, joining forces inspiring women to become founders and leaders in their own space. MJ Lifestyle publishes a fine art lifestyle magazine three times a year highlighting inspirational women navigating their way through an abundant and holistic lifestyle.
