Beans Without Boundaries

This Ambies Awards-finalist and Spurgie Awards-finalist podcast is produced by Elena Mahmood, an Arab queer, who started this journey late 2022 to bring together a community and collective of hardworking individuals to highlight their stories traversing the space of coffee and life. She chats with fellow colleagues within the coffee industry that identify with the lack of representation who identify as being women, BIPOC, and queer to navigate hot discussions about social structure and dynamics that are dealt with within the environment of coffee. Each episode provides a segment called "The Hot Take"; the moment our guests have a chance to vocalize their opinions that can be controversial and spark awareness towards the audience.

We work towards bringing light to the realities that exist in the specialty coffee world and give gratitude towards the work being done globally.
