This isn’t our first time speaking on the good name of the UpNUp Podcast cast and crew. They are part of the reason why I decided to double down on Black Owned as the focus of blog content this year. They just get it. They find the right faces, voices and there is always an engaging line of questioning from Robel and Erm. The episodes are always motivating enough to keep the audience intrigued and learning something new.

Black Owned: Campfire Coffee

With coffee being such a major a part of the day to day lifestyle in Western Washington it was alarming to us when we heard the statistics on black owned coffee roasters or cafe owners in the Pacific Northwest. It was through our good friends at Campfire Coffee that our eyes were opened to the disparities of black faces and ideas in the coffee realm.
