Finding a safe space for difficult conversations is tough. But not impossible.
In Shoreline, Washington, one of those rare places is Black Coffee Northwest. Owned by Darnesha and Erwin Weary, it is a community hub where the discussions are as invigorating as the coffee.
The Wearys have deliberately made Black Coffee an open environment where respectful discussions and debates are welcome, collaboration is fostered, young adults get a grounding in business, Black culture is celebrated, and dancing may erupt at any time.
You'll notice a huge focus on helping youth reach their potential here. BCNW is run by a young leadership team, and while Darnesha and Erwin may sometimes find it difficult not to jump in with their greater experience, decisions are made and implemented by team agreement.
Black Coffee Northwest has its own roast, and the scones are legendary. It's a wonderful place to sit, sip, and soak in the energy. Grab a cup and a seat and join us!
