Jay Ramone Podcast

After seeing a review video on social media, from someone who purhcased some AfroPop at an event or Farmers Market, I was intrigued to try an true Oklahoma made soda. Once i saw that video, i immediately went to the internet to find out more about the brand & where I could find some to try for myself. I began following Afro Pop on Instagram & Facebook. A couple of weeks ago, Jamel had posted that their sodas were now on the shelves & available at Pruett's Foods & Uptown Market stores in Oklahoma City. I drove to their locations until i found a store that still had some available on the shelves and made my purhcase, returned to the office & began to share the awesomeness that i had discovered. Needless to say, I reached out to Jamel & invited him to be a guest on my podcast. Jamel is an impressive Oklahoman with vision & drive. What started as him figuring it out, making soda's in his kitchen, has turned into Afro Pop Soda Company. Today, they have launched pre-orders, to be shipped directly to consumers.
