“You don't conquer a mountain by tearing it down. You conquer a mountain by climbing it and planting your flag on top of it, so that people on the ground can look up, see a flag there, and say somebody's done it before. It can be done.”

John Onwuchekwa loves coffee. But never felt like he belonged whenever he walked into a coffee shop. As he nerded out on how coffee is produced, John realized that geography and economic injustice are bound to racial inequality.

So, he vowed to pour a new narrative of representation—by opening his own coffee shop.

Watch his talk for our Atlanta chapter and wake yourself up with a cup of truth; we all must do our part to ensure fair and equal treatment for all.
