Join our Discord

Our private Discord server is free to join! Connect with like-minded, social-justice-oriented peers in the food, beverage, and hospitality (FBH) industry to brainstorm ideas, discuss news, offer/receive advice, find new opportunities, and build community in-person! 

Ask Me Anything on Discord

We host a monthly series of semi-live Q&A sessions with public figures and subject matter experts in the FBH industry. Our goals for AMAs are to:

​

  • Bridge and strengthen connections between folks in our respective audiences,

  • Humanize and learn from public figures, and

  • Educate our audience about the complexity and nuances of the FBH industry
