R!WC is on a quasi-holiday until Season 4 drops in February, so we’re looking back to the first Coffee Smarter episode of Season 2 where we learned about coffee’s origin story. During this Classics episode, Chris mentions that the coffee tree or bush can get quite tall. “Way taller than you are,” he says. To provide context for those that don’t know me, I was once measured at 5’10.” I never intend have my height taken ever again.
This episode is only a quick coffee bite and I’m putting it out later than my self-imposed deadline of Wednesday morning because I’ve been hard at work on Season 4. I started recording the new series of interviews this week which made me look like this…
I was a little rusty, but my first interviewees, Dani Riggins (Ultreya Coffee & Tea) and Keri Elliot (Elliot & Murrey Coffee) cut me a lot of slack. I’m getting anxious to start releasing new shows and be creative with coffee again. Stay tuned.
COFFEE IN THE WORLD
As someone who works in marketing, I’m always complaining about the algorithms being used by our social media overlords. What I’m not usually doing is worrying about how said algorithms might be disproportionately feeding or even creating a negative stereotypes of me as a person.
Cartoonist & Artist, Keith Knight (KChronicles.com) recently put out a call to action to help him counter the negative online imagery. You can see my photo on Instagram.
“Black people: Post & send a pic of yourself drinking out of your favorite mug. Non-black people: Post & send a pic of yourself with a black mug.”
