Local Impact Through Global Food: A Conversation with Sabine Langer
Send us Fan Mail
Sabine Langer will be the first to tell you she’s not a cook. But as the founder of Global Cafe in Memphis, Tennessee, she has helped create something much bigger than a restaurant.
In this episode of the Riveo Impact Lab, Sabine shares the story of how Global Cafe began as a desire to support immigrants and refugees and grew into a social enterprise serving authentic international cuisine, creating permanent employment opportunities, and building bridges across cultures.
From navigating the early days of entrepreneurship to pivoting during the Covid-19 pandemic, Sabine reflects on the grit, partnerships, and community support that made Global Cafe possible. She also shares powerful stories of employees buying homes, becoming U.S. citizens, and finding economic empowerment through meaningful work.
This conversation explores what it means to build a business with love at the center — one that feeds people, creates opportunity, breaks down barriers, and helps change hearts and minds along the way.
The Riveo Impact Lab is produced for you by Riveo Creative. For more Riveo Impact Lab content, including the video versions of all our episodes, please visit https://riveocreative.com/riveo-impact-lab/.
