Order our book and prints!

Coffee Milk Blood is a project and book inspired by my own experience as an African woman in the industry and the theme of the book touches on appropriate storytelling/depiction of producers - how we want to be seen beyond the coffee and as women, the African woman, the culture of the place as well as underpinnings of Colonialism that are the structures we still operate within in our industry. The book of which we are putting out the main version and limited edition will be a tool the industry needs especially challenging the visual context we often see of coffee origins/producing countries and the faces behind the coffee.
