As we close Black History Month, we’re shifting from celebration to conversation.
This edition of The Coffee Shop Live is titled:
Minding My Black Owned Business.
Join us for a live, moderated conversation featuring entrepreneur Monte Burrow, President and Co-Founder of Blackleaf Organic Vodka, as he shares the real story behind building a nationally recognized brand.
This isn’t a highlight reel.
It’s an honest conversation about:
• Starting with vision
• Navigating rejection and resistance
• Building credibility in competitive spaces
• Protecting identity while scaling
• The unseen discipline behind visible success
• The cost of ownership — and the reward
Hosted by Jeremy and Shundrika of Canvas Firm, this conversation will explore what it truly means to build something of substance — and sustain it.

✔ Authentic storytelling — not surface-level soundbites
