Equator Coffees was founded 25 years ago by couple and co founders, Helen Russell and Brooke McDonnell. Their journey as a lesbian couple has inspired many and set a precedent for what it means to question the status quo within the coffee & LGBTQ+ communities.
In this 2-part special that celebrates Pride month and our support of the LGBTQ+ community, Rani sat down with both Brooke and Helen, asking them the real questions of working with your partner. In addition, we discuss their experiences with challenging the Small Business Administration, perspective on racial inequality in the United States and how they have remained focus on their #1 goal: serving their customers.
