They say the people who believe they can change the world are the ones who care crazy enough to do it. My name is Abijah Minton and I co-founded Hemp Not Trees with my brother Austyn Rosa. We have been best friends since the age of 3 and we have grown physically and spiritually together over the years. As best friends, we both shared a common interest in Cannabis.

 

However, I only knew about marijuana and not hemp. After Austyn told me about his vision and about hemp, I immediately knew that this was going to be the plant that saves the world. After a year of following our dream, each day has only brought us closer to making it a reality. Aside from the business, I am a Sophomore Psychology Major at Howard University from West Orange, New Jersey. I aspire to be a philanthropist. In the future I only intend to give back by donating money to building schools, uplifting urban communities, and teaching the next generation to follow their dreams and be the change that they want to see in the world instead of being who they think the world wants them to be.
