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.
