Ep 3 // Bartholomew Jones (Cxffee Black Founder)
Episode description
In this episode of Stretch or Starve, we chat with MC, Educator, and self-proclaimed coffee nerd, Bartholomew Jones, who is the founder of Cxffee Black. An organisation based out of Memphis, Tennessee, dedicated to educating the community about the intersection between black history and black coffee.
Bartholomew has a deep knowledge and connection of his community, and this episode dives in to how he's using his organisation to bring lasting, sustainable change. He talks about the space he's created in the community, and the way it is seeking to honour the black history of coffee, but also the long-held traditions of coffee's original farmers.
