There’s something about a good coffee shop — the cozy vibes, the smell of fresh espresso, and the way it just feels like home. But what if coffee shops could be more than just a place to grab a latte? What if they became hubs for connection, creativity, and community — especially for Black women? In this episode, we are joined by Lienna Feleke-Eshete, founder of Black Girls Love Coffee Shops, to talk about the magic that happens when Black women gather in spaces intentionally made for us. We get into:

• The importance of creating safe, welcoming spaces for Black women to connect
• Why coffee shop culture often overlooks Black communities and how that’s starting to change
• The power of slow mornings, intentional rest, and simply being in community with one another
• How Lienna is using coffee (and community) as a form of resistance and joy

If you’ve ever craved a space where you can just be, laugh loudly, dream big, and connect with other Black women over a good cup of coffee — this episode is for you. So grab your favorite drink, find a cozy spot, and tune in. Because we deserve spaces made just for us — and we're building them.
