When barriers exist that limit access to vital community resources, we can wait for the system to fix itself - or we can be the solution. Black Coffee NW in Shoreline, WA is actively breaking down as many barriers as cups of coffee are sold in their gathering space just a few miles north of Seattle. The Black-owned, family-owned organization provides local youth with job training, free mental health services, and all sorts of community resources. In this episode our student hosts are joined by Diana Muuru and Haben Haileslassie - two of Black Coffee NW's Youth Program Directors - as they discuss their experience on the frontlines of wellness activism in Seattle's Black and African-immigrant communities.
