Black Coffee is back.<\/p>\n
The original live event from creative director Michelle Johnson (The Chocolate Barista<\/a>, Sprudge<\/a>) returns for two exclusive engagements on the American east coast, happening in NYC on October 15th and Washington DC on October 19th.<\/p>\n Exploring the intersection of race and coffee culture, Black Coffee takes the form of a lively on-stage panel discussion\u2014a\u00a0dialogue that\u00a0centers the voices and experiences of Black<\/span> coffee<\/span> professionals and enthusiasts alike, all with unique perspectives that span intersectional identities and roles on the retail end of the coffee<\/span> chain. The program launched earlier this year in Portland, Oregon, and you can watch a full video presentation of that evening right here.<\/a><\/p>\n Black Coffee PDX (left to right, bottom to top) Zael Ogwaro (Never Coffee), Michelle Johnson (The Chocolate Barista), Ian Williams (Deadstock Coffee), Adam JacksonBey (The Potter\u2019s House), D\u2019Onna Stubblefield (Icon Coffee), Cameron Heath (Revelator Coffee Company), Gio Fillari (Coffee Feed PDX) and Ezra Baker (Oren’s Coffee Co).
