Our Team

Co-Founder

My most impressive accomplishment is being an advocate for diversity and inclusion in the wine and hospitality industry. This passion has led me to my current business that offers diversity in wine on the side of supply chain and logistics.

We chose our business model because we noticed a lack of diversity in the wine industry. We both came up with a solution to open a brick and mortar establishment that operates as a wine shop and eatery that will sell wines and tapas dishes by women and minority winemakers and chefs.

Co-Founder

Consistently striving to make an impact in all I do has enabled me to successfully build diverse organizations as an executive in the tech space. I've also made impact as a real estate investor creating jobs and building underserved neighborhoods.
