After a successful inaugural event<\/a> last year in Seattle, Womxn In Coffee<\/a> is taking a three-hour road trip down I-5 to Portland. Taking place Friday, February 15th<\/sup> at Black Rabbit Service Co.<\/a>, Womxn In Coffee will feature candid conversations about the hardships faced by underrepresented members of the coffee community and ways to address these issues head-on.<\/p>\n Using the first Womxn In Coffee as an outline, event creator Tatiana Benitez will use a panel format to give a voice to firsthand experiences of injustice faced by members of the (mostly) Portland-based coffee community, not just women but people of color, queer, and non-binary individuals as well. For the panel, Benitez has enlisted the help of #CoffeeToo<\/a> co-founder and coffee professional at Seattle’s Broadcast Coffee<\/a> Molly Flynn, a return guest from the first Womxn In Coffee. The panel will also include local professionals Sara Reynolds of Good Coffee<\/a>, Alejandria Acereto of Stumptown<\/a>, Paxton Ogwaro of Never Coffee<\/a>, and Camila Coddou, the former Ristretto Roasters<\/a> barista who made news<\/a> for taking a stand against #MeNeither, a YouTube channel created in part by Nancy Rommelmann, the wife of Ristretto owner Din Johnson.<\/p>\n The goal of the event, according to Benitez, is to \u201craise awareness about these injustices and to start the conversation\u201d as well as \u201c[discuss], along with the audience, solutions, and ideas that we may all have on how to stop this from happening within their cafes.\u201d<\/p>\n Food and drink\u2014both alcoholic and non\u2014will be provided on a first come first served basis. The event is completely free and open to the public. It all gets started at 6:30pm at Black Rabbit Service Co in northeast Portland.
