Every entrepreneur has been there. Balancing the health of your business with your personal health and the wellbeing of the many employees, customers and partners who depend on your business every day.

Victoria started Irving and Powell in 2014 when she noted a gap in the market for good quality basic clothing. You can peruse her gorgeous clothing at irvingandpowell.com or @irvingandpowell on Instagram. I love that while she appreciates and uses multiple online technology tools, Vic loves nothing more that a good old paper and pen to-do list. She's a great example of mixing the many tools and support mechanisms to enable her to achieve her dreams ie no guilt about after school care.

After taking the reins of her family business, she launched City Girl Coffee, an entirely new brand that focuses on coffee and women’s empowerment all along the chain from crop to cup.

How a coffee company is bringing equality to women coffee farmers The post Empowering Women With Every Cup: Alyza Bohbot of City Girl Coffee appeared first on SEE Change Magazine.
Her parents started Alakef Coffee Roasters in Duluth in the early 90s and for the past few years Alyza Bohbot has been adding her own flare to the company with the addition of her socially responsible City Girl Coffee Brand. Her "unapologetically feminine" brand is sourced from women-owned or managed farms from all over the world and a portion of every sale goes back to the organizations that help support those women. Hear Alyza talk about her mission, how she got here, and what plans lie ahead for both brands. Find us on Facebook and email us at podcast@duluthnews.com.
