10 year anniversary reflections…Before Brewpoint Coffee, I was a bit lost—hopping from school to school, job to job, community to community. Roots weren’t really my thing, and I envisioned a nomadic life. I lived a year in the Middle East, contemplated becoming an international correspondent, and studied for the foreign services exam. Then, fate intervened with the infamous coffee shop listing on Craigslist. 2014 was the year my life came together. I found my partner, who balanced my impulsive nature; my business, which grounded me and gave me a sense of purpose; and my community, which motivated me to improve every day. I couldn’t have predicted what Brewpoint would become, but it has been life-changing for me and, I hope, for many others. It has been a place where I’ve grown up, developed my leadership, tested my beliefs, and witnessed the power of belonging. It’s not perfect, but it’s beyond my wildest dreams. And truly, we would not be here without your support and connection. So here’s to 10 years of Brewpoint Coffee, to you, and to many more years of growth, community building, and big dreams.
