TJ Roberts is a social entrepreneur with a for-profit business who uses coffee as a conduit for good in the inner city of Kansas City, Kansas.. His upbringing and experiences in life have given him many takeaways from growing up with a deformity and being the only black kid in an all-white community AND household. His harsh “reality check” card was dealt with the day he was born but his talents and self-belief never held him back from becoming a drummer, a D1 football player, and now a business owner! Taste the kindness from his own hands or just listen and let your taste buds dream, TJ creates a community with coffee!This is TJ’s second time on the podcast.
