Can Coffee Shops be Anti Gentrification? A Conversation w/ Jared Myers of The Heights CDC in Memphis

“What would happen if cxffee culture loved people of color as much as it loved their cash crops? What if we cared for and celebrated single-origin people as much as we celebrated single-origin coffee? We believe coffee can be a force for good in our communities, not just in spite of them. We believe that coffee is not just FROM communities of color, but it can be FOR them too. The profits, the aesthetic, the job opportunities, the empowerment, and most importantly the vibe. All these can be tools to deepen the ties in our communities, rather than displace them. Coffee can do more than stimulate the minds of folks who consume it; we imagine it can stimulate the economy of the communities it is in as well. “ Read the full article with our thought on gentrification at—> https://cxffeeblack.com/blogs/news

Negrotes in Paris: Being Afro Colombian in France - a Cxffeeblack Barista Exchange // S4 Ep8

☕️ “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.To Support the Barista Exchange gofundme.com/f/barista-exchange-programTo Invest in Cxffeeblack wefunder.com/cxffeeblackJoin the Brew Up Subscription cxffeeblack.com/products/brew-up-subscriptionShop the Barista Exchange Coffee Collection https://cxffeeblack.myshopify.com/collections/barista-exchange#CoffeeCulture #BlackLiberation #DiasporaConnections #afrocolombian #BaristaExchange
