Coffee is from Africa, yet the way we think of and enjoy coffee today is largely separated from the roots that produced that original fruit. The disparity we see in the value stream today, where those growing coffee do not receive the fruit of their labor, is the consequence.  Today we get to talk with someone who has been laboring hard to honor coffee's root in an effort to create a better future for both those who grow coffee as well as for under served communities whose own cultures are tied closely to coffee's history.  Bartholomew Jones is an emcee, cxffee nerd, and multi-hyphenate creative. Alongside his wife, Renata Henderson, he is the co-founder of Cxffeeblack and co-owner of the Anti-Gentrification Cxffee Club, a coffee educational center and cultural hub located in Memphis, TN. Founded in 2018, Cxffeeblack is a community-oriented, multi-disciplinary, education-based coffee company that became a trailblazer in the coffee industry by creating an entirely all Black coffee supply chain from Ethiopia to Memphis, TN, the first of its kind. Cxffeeblack is on a mission to return coffee to its African roots and in the process create an equitable Black future. Bart is a Sprudge 20 honoree, an annual list of the Top 20 coffee influencers cultivated by Sprudge Media Network, a renowned international authority on coffee and its culture; Cxffeeblack was one of the Coffee Coalition for Racial Equity's 2024 Innovator of the Year awardees.

As long as it has been around, coffee has always attracted creative and artistic people. Whether it is the coffee shop serving as community gathering spots or just the coffee itself inspiring expression, coffee fuels art, music, culture, and human connection. Today we are going to be talking with an artist whose music career has been focused on covering the truth of these subjects and whose own discovery of specialty coffee has helped shape his work, mindset, and mission. We are having a conversation with hip hop artist, Propaganda! Propaganda grew up in a working class black family and lived in a predominant Latino neighborhood of LAThere was a sense of multiculturalism from the very beginning and Prop saw how one personʼs problem could very similar to that of another person. For Prop, music is way to create conversations about substantial entities that impact us on a daily basis and to see how faith can help guide us along the way. After he graduated college with degrees in illustration and intercultural studies, he taught high school for six years and had a hand in founding two charter schools in LA, one of which had a focus on the arts. 2007 he resigned from teaching to pursue music full-time and began touring as a solo artist. He joined the Humble Beast family and unveiled a series of four albums that put his music on the map. Prop fell in love with coffee while on tour and has since been a coffee entrepreneur, enthusiast, and advocate even producing 2 Sprudgie award winning coffee focused songs, "If Coffee was a Man, and "Calibrate" This is a wonderful and deep conversation about music, cultural authenticity, courage, and the cup of coffee that brings us together.  We cover: Finding art and music Motivations and going full time Discovering coffee and waking up the pallet Elegance and complexity of art and coffee Connecting culture to coffee Coffee as the heritage of POC Bringing POC into the coffee space Authenticity and overcoming the fear of being you Shop spaces representing culture The importance of collaborations and lifting others up Links: www.prophiphop.com Red Couch Podcast Hood Politics Music Video "Calibrate" If Coffee was a Man   Related Episodes: (seriously listen!) 337: Founder Friday w/ Diana Martinez of Cafe Calle, Los Angeles 284 : Founder Friday! w.

In order to have clarity on how to operate effectively in coffee we need to view it thought a global lens. The tapestry of people and cultures that make up our industry are rarely represented and even less often do they benefit from coffee culture. The answer to this problem is something that today's guest calls "The Sepia Coffee Project".  Martell Mason is Co-Founder of the Sepia Coffee Project(SCP), a boutique roastery based in Detroit's North End. Although a native of the city, Martell has lived a very nomadic life with years spent throughout Asia, East Africa and Scandinavia. With a BA in International Affairs and grad work specializing in Sustainability and Coffee Value Chains; Martell continues to search for ways to bridge the gap from "farm to cup" while ensuring there is greater representation of all persons involved with an emphasis placed on those of color.  In 2017, he established Arabica Trading House in Istanbul, Turkey, being one of the first specialty traders to import high-quality, transparent coffees direct from origin. Pivoting after the shocks of the pandemic, Martell arrived back in the US in 2021 and saw an opportunity to be of service to a young, yet vibrant coffee community in Detroit.  Sepia Coffee Project's mission is to make specialty coffee more accessible to underserved markets, creating a more inclusive and equitable platform for coffee consumers, industry peers and the greater community at large.  In our conversation today we are going to be learning about Martell's unique journey through coffee and how his experiences shaped his views and the work he does today to create equity and inclusion for all.  We cover:  Getting into coffee and developing a broad perspective Global travels and working in coffee  How story adds value Learning by connecting directly with people Improve systems through deeper understanding Looking at what quality is and who defines it Farmer livelihoods and mainstream coffee Celebrating a wider range of coffee Addressing "Coffee Deserts"  The establishment and goals of The Sepia Coffee Project Bringing coffee to the underserved and marginalized  Related episodes:  116 : Understanding Gentrification w/ Dr. Stacey Sutton 183 : Exploring Diversity w/ Phyllis Johnson 233 : A Conversation w/ Anthony Ragler, Black and White 297 : Making Coffee Education Fun w/ Suneal Pabari of Leaderboard Coffee 092 : Tony “Tonx” Konecny of Yes Plz : Consumer Accessibility, roasting, 3rd wave, subscription 227 : Connecting with Hearts and Minds   Visit our amazing Sponsors! www.groundcontrol.coffee www.pacficfoodservice.com www.coffeefest.com  

This week on Cities@Tufts, Stacey Sutton presents: Punitive and Cooperative Cities. The City of Chicago's automated traffic enforcement fines and fees are disproportionately borne by Black, Latinx, and low-income residents. Simultaneously, Chicago is on the precipice of implementing one of the largest community wealth building initiatives in the country, defined by the city as “an approach to economic development that promotes the local, democratic, and shared ownership and control of community assets in order to transform our economy to be more sustainable and just.” Stacey Sutton discusses these distinctive areas of research in Chicago (and beyond) by drawing on her Punitive Cities and Cooperative Cities frameworks.  In addition to this audio, you can watch the video and read the full transcript of their conversation on Shareable.net – while you're there get caught up on past lectures.

Creating a path forward and up in the coffee industry sometimes requires we take matters into our own hands and build the opportunities for ourself and others that we don't see. This is exactly what today's guest, LaNisa Williams did with Barista L.A.  LaNisa Williams has been in coffee over 14 years as a barista, manager, trainer/educator, and all around inspiration. At a critical point in her life and career she decided that coffee was not only her route to a better life, but that she would create a platform to spotlight and give opportunity to the black coffee community.  Barista Life L.A. is a full service coffee brand that provides training, education, and consulting to individuals and companies. Under the Barista Life L.A. banner, LaNisa founded Black the platform "Black in Brew" which highlights black excellence in coffee. In addition LaNisa provides private events, in home brewing demos, and also runs the retail expression of Barista Life L.A., "Hustlers Cup".  In all this her goal is to create a safe space for people of all colors, genders, and backgrounds in hopes to educate, restores, and uplift them in the coffee community.  In today's conversation we will be talking about how LaNisa got her start in coffee, how it provided a path for a new life, and the story of founding Barista Life L.A. and the experiences, lessons, and impact it has provided.  We cover: Developing a love for coffee and the industry The drive of Hospitality and people Getting a second chance on life through coffee Addressing the lack of opportunity for black people in coffee Starting barista life LA  Expanding the view of what a barista is Educating and training and putting yourself out there How the journey has shaped who she is today  Receiving feedback and avoiding self doubt Paying attention to your customers Helping people succeed beyond the bar Advice on overcoming obstacles  Links: www.bristalifela.com IG:  @Baristalifela @hustlerscup   Related Episodes: 233 : A Conversation w/ Anthony Ragler, Black and White 315 : Growing and Connecting w/ Stephen Zinnerman of The Coffee Enthusiast! 116: Understanding Gentrification w/ Dr. Stacey Sutton 183 : Exploring Diversity w/ Phyllis Johnson 159: Addressing Unconscious Bias w/ Lauren Lathrop 139: Founder Friday w/ Phil Sipka, Kusanya Cafe 067: 6 Truths about Power 235 : 4 Tips for Training your Staff   Visit our awesome sponsors!

It's Founder Friday! Today we get the honor of hearing the story of Gilly Brew Bar in Stone Mountain, GA from Daniel Brown and Nephthaly Leonidas. Started by Daniel Brown who was quickly joined by Nephthaly Leonidas, Gilly Brew Bar was founded with the mission to help people re-imagine coffee culture. This mission serves their main purpose, which is to disrupt norms and build better communities. Gilly came to be as an effort to not only make waves in the coffee industry being black owned, but to change the narrative of what it means to be a coffee company serving in the community alongside an amazing gang of baristas. Gilly is unique also in that they serve coffee and tea elixirs to story-tell. With this experience comes a whole new way of thinking and operating. Humility, connection, and people focused service define what Gilly is all about.  In today's conversation we are going to deep dive into the story of Gilly's founding, overcoming challenges of history and race, bucking the status quo and much more We cover: Setting the table for guests Not being just a coffee bar People focus Challenges in first year Overcoming racism and obstacles  Customer feedback and leading with humility Becoming a light in the community The unique elixir beverages and their story  Hopes for the future Related Episodes: 236 : Founder Friday! w/ Meil Castagna-Herrera & Curtis Herrera of Cafe Corazon! 222 : How to have Difficult Conversations about Race and Justice w/ Kwame Christian 177 : Founder Friday w/ Jonathan Pascual of Taproom Coffee and Beer in Atlanta, Georgia 116 : Understanding Gentrification w/ Dr. Stacey Sutton   Visit our sponsors!   www.prima-coffee.com/keys   www.pacficfoodservice.com

When we talk about equity we often we are just scratching the surface of what is going on deep in the structure of the coffee industry. Today's guest, Phyllis Johnson has dedicated much of her career to bringing to light the deeper generational inequities that hold people back. Her new book, "The Triumph: Black Brazilians in Coffee" profiles two families whose inspirational stories are rewriting the narrative for future generations of marginalized people in coffee farming.  Phyllis Johnson is the President and co-founder and CEO of BD Imports, and In addition to owning and operating a social enterprise over the past 16 years, has served as lead international consultant to the United Nations International Trade Centre, Women in Coffee Program. In addition Phyllis founded The Coffee Coalition for Racial Equity, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to build greater racial diversity and equity in the U.S. coffee industry. In our conversation today we will be discussing her new book but also diving into the issues that were a catalyst for this book. As we enter into a new year after such a strained and tumultuous 2020, our sights, more than ever, should be on how we can use our positions in the industry to help others, like those featured in this book, rewrite the narrative and create more opportunity, visibility, and representation across the whole spectrum of our global coffee community.  Among many things, we discuss: How we see black people in coffee The importance of landownership Creating space  Interrupting the pattern Visibility and opportunity Representation Choosing coffees based on story and support Using our buying power for good Links: https://www.bdimports.com https://coffeeforequity.org   Related Episodes: 183 : Exploring Diversity w/ Phyllis Johnson 153 : Exploring the Peace Trade in the Congo w/ Mighty Peace Coffee 116 : Understanding Gentrification w/ Dr. Stacey Sutton 139 : Founder Friday w/ Kusanya Cafe co-founder, Phil Sipka 245 : A Conversation with the World’s Youngers Q Grader, Frankie Volkema, Founder of Joven Coffee COVID-19 Focus: Perspective form Burundi w/ Jeanine Niyonzima-Aroian, JNP Coffee Starting a shop -or- want to level up you operations?

The subject of gentrification in our area has been an important one for several years and is reaching peak crisis now that there's a great migration to our area from New York City. I wanted to better understand gentrification and how we can prevent its harmful effects and this show is highlighting what I've learned in pursuit of a better understanding of the situation. We hear from many women on this show via speeches I was able to source from the internet.Stacey Sutton, Associate Professor of Urban Planning and Policy in the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs (CUPPA) at the University of Illinois Chicago. Her research focuses on worker cooperatives, economic democracy, equitable development, and racially disparate effects of place-based policy and planning. In a forthcoming study, titled “Cooperative Cities,” Stacey examines how municipal leaders are creating enabling environments for starting and sustaining worker-owned cooperatives and limitations of the local state in the cooperative movement. Other bodies of work focus on “Punitive Cities,” meaning the disparate impact of urban policies and place-based initiatives. This includes examining the impact of business improvement districts (BIDs) for small businesses in NYC and the impact of red light and speeding camera tickets on drivers across Chicago. Finally, Stacey examines interplay among race, gentrification and neighborhood change. This is reflected in an article on gentrification and racial transition in the Journal of Urban Affairs. It is also the premise of her book project titled, Buy Black: Race, Retail and the Politics of Neighborhood Business Survival, that examines neighborhood change through the lens of Black small business-owners. Stacey tells how business-owners were instrumental for revitalizing a Brooklyn neighborhood and how processes of gentrification, including the enactment and enforcement of land-use rules, building codes and other regulatory apparatus, hasten shop closure and upend community cohesion. Sutton holds a joint PhD in Urban Planning and Sociology from Rutgers University, and a MBA from New York University.

When is comes to community and serving the neighborhood well through the cafe, you'd be hard pressed to find a better example than Franny Lou's Porch, in Philadelphia, PA.  Blew Kind began her entrepreneurial journey in 2010 with Leotah's Place in North Philly then, moving across the street and renaming it, she established Franny Lou's Porch. All along the way Blew's goals have been to create an inclusive, loving and distinctly human coffee shop experience. With an emphasis on activism, health, and the history, art, and culture of the black community, Franny Lou's Porch has been a dynamic for peace and change.  In today's Founder Friday interview we are going to explore the genesis of Blew's coffee career and also that of her shop and the challenges, lessons, and experiences that she has had seeing this vision into fruition.  This was a fantastic conversation and I hope it inspires you.  We discuss: Faith in your vision Setting up a board for accountability Serving community and co-creating the culture Starting again after moving locations Overcoming financial burdens Experiences of being taken advantage of Strength of vision but reliance on community The maternal, non-heirachical business model  Discussing black owned business, wealth generation  What can coffee do to be more accessible and equitable?  Creating a place of humans and love Links: www.frannylousporch.org  https://www.gofundme.com/f/franny-lous-porch-covid-relief On Instagram   Related episodes: 230 : Making room for Community in your Shop 139 : Founder Friday w/ Kusanya Cafe co-founder, Phil Sipka 183 : Exploring Diversity w/ Phyllis Johnson 116 : Understanding Gentrification w/ Dr. Stacey Sutton   The BEST in commercial coffee equipment! www.prima-coffee.com/keys   Want the best plant based beverage for your coffee drinks? www.pacificfoods.com/food-service  

As we struggle through COVID and seek also to care for our staff, show hospitality, and address the needs of our community around racial justice, we need to lean on the example of people who have excelled in those areas that we seek to improve. Dorian Bolden was a guest on Founder Friday back in August of 2018 and was one of my favorite interviews ever. He has built a Beyu Caffe to be a solid, profitable, community focused, cafe even in the midst of the economic down turn of 2008. Dorian's values drive the company to be "The ultimate community gathering space" that puts a clear emphasis on diversity, inclusion, and hospitality. Another reason why I loved this interview was how much Dorian shares about his own journey as an owner learning the ropes or entrepreneurship and having to over come some pretty significant personal and professional challenges.  I hope that Dorian's example and experiences help you, inspire you, and give you a focus on how you can run a great business and also help serve your community by making hospitality and diversity a part of your shops DNA.  Links: www.beyucaffe.com   Related Episodes: 183 : Exploring Diversity w/ Phyllis Johnson 116 : Understanding Gentrification w/ Dr. Stacey Sutton 045 : Simple, Powerful Hospitality w/ Philip Turner 132 : Baristas Speak Vol. 3 : Interviews from Coffee Champs, Nashville 2019     The BEST in commercial coffee equipment www.prima-coffee.com/keys   Want the best plant based beverage for your coffee drinks?  www.pacificfoods.com/food-service      

Throughout history the coffee shop has been a catalyst for conversation. The subject of that conversation is as wide and varied as your clientele and your community. There are subjects of conversation that are very niche and only apply to a few people, and then there are subjects that are happening on a large scale and are relevant and impactful to everyone. Race and Justice is one of those subjects and the cafe as a modern 3rd place institution needs to be able to interact with it well in order to serve well. We have several different relationships that we manage in the cafe space. Employees, customers, followers, and purveyors. As leaders we need to make space for, and engage in, these difficult conversations. Today we are going to discuss how to approach these difficult conversations with my good friend, Kwame Christian, Director of the American Negotiation Institute. Kwame is best selling author of the book Confidence in Conflict, a sought after speaker, and the host of the worlds #1 negotiation podcast Negatiate Anything. Kwame is dedicated to empowering others and has helped countless individuals overcome the fear, anxiety, and emotion often associated with difficult conversations through a branded framework called Compassionate Curiosity. As an attorney and mediator with a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Public Policy, and a Juris Doctorate (Law Degree), Kwame brings a unique multidisciplinary approach to making difficult conversations easier. In this episode we are going to explore how to approach these difficult conversations and the issues that can arise around them.  In this conversation we will cover: The importance of Empathy Compassionate curiosity  Creating space and generating understanding  Consequences of inaction  How to gain self awareness Embracing awkwardness and imperfection Owning issues and building relationships  Addressing social issues Emotional labor Links and resources: www.americannegotiationinstitute.com Free Negotiation Guides   Related episodes: 183: Exploring Diversity w/ Phyllis Johnson 125: Finding Confidence in Conflict w/ Kwame Christian 159: Addressing Unconscious Bias w/ Lauren Lathrop 116: Understanding Gentrification w/ Dr. Stacey Sutton 139: Founder Friday w/ Phil Sipka, Kusanya Cafe 220 : Founder Friday w/ Sarah Barnett Gill 067: 6 Truths about Power 165 : The Art of Deep Listening w/ Oscar Trimboli     The BEST in commercial coffee equipment www.prima-coffee.com/keys   Want the best plant based beverage for your coffee drinks?  www.pacificfoods.com/food-service        

This Founder Friday is a wild, unique, and refreshingly honest experience. Today we are going to be talking with the one and only  Sarah Barnett Gill, the owner of Mama Mocha's in Auburn, AL. Sarah has been in coffee since 2003 and for the last 7+ years has been operating one of the most unique, authentic, and welcoming coffee shops around. Mama Mocha's is a beacon of diversity, love, and simple honest enjoyment of people and coffee. In the pursuit of this Sarah has worked hard to grow her business from a small roastery in a $200/mo room of a bookstore to an established community icon of great coffee and charming hospitality that wins peoples hearts and taste buds.  This conversation covers a wide range of topics from the expected to the quit un-expected. Sarah is not afraid to take bold stands and is equal parts serious business woman, and fun loving protector of the marginalized. Plus, like me, she loves a good dark roasted coffee.  So, buckle up, this is going to be a refreshing and wild ride.    You will lean about: Starting small and building slowly  Facing initial challenges Rejecting the 3rd wave Taking bold stances  Diversity and Inclusivity   Fighting cultural ignorance  The balance between love and ass kicking Establishing a Unique Culture Dark roast revival  Dealing with COVID and caring for your people Links: www.mamamochas.com Instagram    Related Episodes: 183 : Exploring Diversity w/ Phyllis Johnson   108 : Founder Friday w/ Dorian Bolden of Beyu Caffe, Durham, NC   155 : A Conversation w/ T.

And finally, here we are... the last film of the original saga. Let's not beat around the bush here, it's a much-maligned movie. It's loved and hated in fairly equal measure due to it's purported campy tone, geriatric Bond, bat-shit wild Walken, menacing May Day, and screeching Stacey Sutton... but when has consensus ever gotten in the way of a good time? OHMSS was widely panned at time of release and later became a standard bearer for the franchise; DAF was praised as a return to form by the wider cinema-going public and we all know how that turned out. Maybe it's time to give A View to a Kill the love and attention it deserves? Or maybe it's just an overblown, overstuffed mess. We'll see.

Creating a coffee bar and working in retail all boils down to practicing hospitality. We want to practice this on behalf of our guests and our staff but without taking a critical look at how and who we welcome in, we are not really showing hospitality. We need to look at our thoughts, behaviors, and actions critically in order to grow in any area of life and it is in that spirit that we are going to be exploring diversity today with one of our industry's most accomplished and impactful thought leaders on equity, diversity, and inclusion, Phyllis Johnson!  Phyllis Johnson is the co-founder and president of BD Imports, an award-winning social enterprise focused on responsible sourcing of specialty coffees.  The company is the recipient of numerous awards including, Responsible Business of the Year and Diverse Supplier of the Year.

She is the recipient of numerous awards including the Harvard Kennedy School,  Barbara Jordan Award for Women’s Leadership.  Her work was recognized by a 2019 Maggie Award for Roast Magazine article, Strong Black Coffee, Why Aren’t African Americans More Prominent in The Coffee Industry.    Phyllis has served on numerous boards including the Specialty Coffee Association, the International Women’s Coffee Alliance, Coffee Quality Institute, and the National Coffee Association In this episode we will be encouraged, challenged, and equipped with insights to take the first steps in making diversity a reality in the shop or anywhere we have influence. Among may things, we discuss: The power of self examination Getting over the fear found in discussing diversity The business benefits of a diverse shop culture Avoiding tokenization Unconscious bias and blind spots First steps to take and the scale of our action Links: www.bdimports.com Phyllis' Instagram Phyllis LinkedIn   Related Episodes: 159: Addressing Unconscious Bias w/ Lauren Lathrop 116: Understanding Gentrification w/ Dr. Stacey Sutton 139: Founder Friday w/ Phil Sipka, Kusanya Cafe 067: 6 Truths about Power 165 : The Art of Deep Listening w/ Oscar Trimboli   Thank you to our sponsors!   The right equipment for your situation! www.prima-coffee.com   The best plant based beverages on the planet!  www.pacificfoods.com/food-service      

Stacey Sutton spends her time figuring out why our systems of capital work the way they do, their effects, and what some better, more human ways of creating industry and cities could be. She is a professor of Urban Planning at the University of Illinois-Chicago, a long-time organizer, and, according to Damon, the best-dressed person in Chicago’s social movement community–what a claim to fame, huh? She helps us understand what we mean when we talk about co-ops, what worker co-operatives around the country and world look like, and how we can cooperatively reshape our economic systems today and in our future.

It's Founder Friday! Today we talk with the Co-Founder of Kusanya Cafe located in Englewood, Chicago, USA, Phil Sipka. Kusanya Cafe is an all resident owned and run non-profit coffee shop that has been providing an amazing gathering spot and 3rd place for the Englewood neighborhood for the past 5 years. It is truly a great example of what can happen when a community comes together and build something together.  In this conversation we discuss the vision of Kusanya, the years long struggle to get the cafe open, community organization, working as a non-profit shop, opening up the space to be guided and co-created with the neighborhood, hiring and empowering staff, winning the trust of the neighborhood, and much more.  This is a small but mighty example of what revitalization and renewal can look like in the face of gentrification.  Be inspired!

Vernon Oakes, host of Everything Co-op, and Dr. Sutton discuss her research on "Cooperative Cities," and proven strategies to educate legislators on the potential impact of cooperatives on economic development. Stacey Sutton is Assistant Professor of Urban Planning and Policy in the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs (CUPPA) at the University of Illinois Chicago. Her research focuses on community economic development, economic democracy and equitable development. In a forthcoming study, Stacey examines "Cooperative Cities," specifically how city governments create enabling environments for the development and sustainability of worker-owned cooperatives, as well as potential limits of local state involvement in the cooperative movement. Stacey has also published research on race and gentrification, commercial revitalization, and the disparate impact of punitive city policies, such as tickets, fines and fees. Stacey holds a Ph.D. in Urban Planning and in Sociology from Rutgers University, a MBA from New York University, and a BA from Loyola University in Baltimore

Coffee shops have become a symbol of gentrification, a process that is made up of a mix of opportunism, policy, and politics resulting in the displacement of communities. As people who tout the love of community and people as being core in our values this issue should worry us. Understanding gentrification is key to being able to take steps in fighting it. Today on the show we are talking with one of the world foremost authorities on the issue of gentrification, Dr. Stacey Sutton. Dr. Sutton is Assistant Professor of Urban Planning and Policy in the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs (CUPPA) at the University of Illinois Chicago. In this conversation we discuss her work in researching gentrification, the misconceptions people have about it, what is the difference between urban renewal and gentrification, what mindsets do we harbor in retail that contribute to the momentum of gentrification, what is coffee's role in this and how can we take the first steps to being part of the solution?  I am so honored to have Dr. Sutton on the show. This is a huge subject and I would encourage you to research further and use this episode as a springboard for learning more about the unpleasant realities of gentrification. I have provided lots of links below to help in this process. Please do reach out to you local schools of urban planning and neighborhood associations to start a dialogue. The coffee shop is often called the 3rd place. A location where people go to gather that is not work or home that contributes to the deep bonds of a community. We cannot hope to offer a great third place unless we put as much effort into how we place ourselves and serve in communities as we do in the coffee we aim to serve those communities. When we do this I think we will see disinvestment and displacement begin to slow, and coffee, for these communities, can move from a symbol of displacement, to a true expression of place.  LINKS: Dr. Sutton's Faculty Page  Talk at TEDx NY Dr. Sutton Lecture at CUPPA (Spotty Audio) EMAIL: suttons@uic.edu Resource: Next City Journal   Links to Published Research (Prefaces) Sutton, Stacey. 2018. “Gentrification and the Increasing Significance of Racial Transition in New York City 1970-2010” Urban Affairs Review  Sutton, Stacey. 2014. “Are BIDs Good for Business?
