☕️ “Coffee Stay Black, Just Like Me” 🌍
In this episode, we explore the deep connections between Black identity, land, and coffee culture. From the anti-gentrification efforts in Memphis to the coffee farms of Colombia, we examine how coffee is more than a commodity—it’s a cultural thread that weaves together history, labor, and liberation.
Join us as we discuss the global Black Barista Exchange program, a groundbreaking Pan-African initiative that seeks to reclaim the narrative of Black labor in the coffee industry, from cultivation to consumption. We talk land rights, cultural preservation, and the ongoing fight for economic sovereignty in Black communities worldwide.
With special guest Mario Dulcey from Solo Cafe in Colombia and conversations rooted in diasporic solidarity, this episode delves into how coffee—grown, roasted, and brewed by Black hands—represents a much larger movement towards self-determination.
