131 : The Strong Women of Coffee w/ Laura Gonzalez : Behind the project giving a voice to the amazing women that make up our industry , challenges women face in coffee, and some practices to adopt to help open up opportunities

Our industry is blessed to have so many wonderful women contributing their greatness and inspiring us all. Laura Gonzalez knows this to be true and founded the Strong Women of Coffee project to help them tell their story and give them a voice. Today we chat with Laura about her experience in running this project and what she has learned along the way. We discuss common challenges women face in the industry, double standards, and also what practices we can adopt in the cafe that she believes would help give more opportunity to women and other marginalized groups. It was such pleasure to talk with Laura and I hope you gain some perspective and adopt some practices that make a difference in how you run your shop and lead your people.   Links: www.strongwomenofcoffee.com Follow on INSTAGRAM
