Stormy Wellington, the visionary behind Girl Hold My Hand Inc has a well-earned reputation as one of the leading personalities in the multi-level marketing and direct sales industry.
A large part of what makes Stormy resonate with hundreds of thousands of loyal followers on her social media platforms is her raw emotions and authenticity, the product of her brutally challenging formative years. Born in New York and eventually raised in Miami, Florida, while most kids were worried about getting home before the street lights came on, Stormy was questioning if her mother was going to be at home at all!
At an early age, Stormy had to adopt a very different perspective on the emotion that would become the driving force of what she desires to be known for… LOVE! From growing up in foster care, dropping out of high school in the 9th grade, stripping to provide for her family at 13, watching her mom go to prison, becoming a teen mom herself at 15, holding her mom’s hand at death, making millions and losing it all, only to come right back and climb back to the top, Stormy’s journey is the embodiment of strength, resilience and determination.
Stormy’s mission in life is to help women all over the world to become the highest and best version of themselves, by knowing themselves, loving themselves and embracing themselves. In 2017 she launched Girl Hold My Hand, Inc, an organization designed to accomplish this goal. The premise of the organization is Stormy’s belief that that when one knows who one’s authentic self really is, and when one grows in one’s authenticity, the sky is the limit!
Stormy’s recent entry into the CBD market through the launch of her new company Wells CBD has been met with excitement and anticipation. A spokesman for Wells CBD has indicated that Stormy is assembling a team of the “best of breed” consultants and lawyers in the Cannabis Industry. Given Stormy’s track record, it would be safe to say that the Cannabis Industry will soon be making way for a new “Queen of CBD!”
