About this listen

Have you ever had to re-establish your power, your voice, your place in a room? It can be challenging, but its not impossible.

In this episode, Renata Henderson, co-founder and head roaster of Cxffeeblack, shares what it looks like to reclaim a space—not just for yourself, but for your people.

As the first Black female coffee roaster in Memphis and co-architect of the award-winning, culture-shifting brand Cxffeeblack—named World’s Most Notable Roaster 2024, Best in Coffee 2023, and Innovator 2024— Renata and her team are redefining what excellence and ownership look like in an industry that wasn’t built with them in mind. Together with her husband, she’s turned coffee into both a creative canvas and a cultural reclamation project.

In this conversation, we talk about:

  • Why reclaiming culture can transform not just business, but community.
  • What it takes to lead with authority as a minority without losing your voice, creativity or conviction.
  • The truth that reclaiming a room starts with embracing who you are and your roots.

🎧 Listen now and learn how reclaiming your presence can change the world around you.
