Brewing for Equity
It's our first episode!
Join us on Brewing for Equity, where we delve into the intersection of coffee, social impact, and racial equity. In each episode, leaders shaping the future of the coffee industry share their stories toward equity.
Today, we're honored to introduce the podcast and focus on Phyllis Johnson, founder of CCRE and co-founder of BD Imports. Phyllis is the only Black woman in the U.S. who has ran and operated a green coffee company for more than two decades with relationships in more than 10 countries.
Phyllis shares her journey, from her roots in the coffee industry to founding the CCRE. She discusses the organization's mission to amplify marginalized voices and foster diversity within the coffee community.
She also shares the unique challenges she's faced and the initiatives she's undertaken to empower women of color in coffee.
Our hosts also explore the role of technology in advancing social impact, the delicate balance between profit-making and social good, and the importance of community engagement in driving meaningful change.
From initiatives like the Black Coffee Farmers Project in Brazil to partnerships driving social impact goals, Phyllis gives us a glimpse into the future of the coffee industry and the pivotal role the CCRE plays in shaping it.
Discover how you can get involved and be part of the journey towards a more equitable coffee industry with the Coffee Coalition for Racial Equity. Join us on Brewing for Equity and be inspired to brew positive change, one cup at a time.
