Description: Josh Reynolds interviews Mia Moss, a Black business owner in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area. This interview was conducted as part of American University's Fall 2020 Oral History Class

: Mia Moss Interview, October 25, 2020; Oral history interview with Mia Moss, owner of Black Coffee, a local coffee shop on the East Side of Fort Worth, Texas. Moss is a native of Fort Worth, living primarily on the East side. She feels very attached to her community and saw opening a business that expresses her coffee passion would be a way to give back to her community. She discusses her family and education growing up, her introduction into the coffee world, her experiences with racism, both professionally and personally, the COVID-19 outbreak and its lasting effects, and the effects of the Black Lives Matter social justice movement. This interview was recorded virtually (hence the two locations) through a website called TheirStory.io.
