Calling all Queer Coffee Workers

Queers and coffee go together like rainbows and unicorns. And we know there are tons of queer baristas, roasters, and coffee shop owners doing amazing work behind the counter and in their community. We want to hear from you!

If you’d like to be featured on our blog and social media channels, complete the questionnaire below. This is an opportunity to share your story, as well as give a shout-out to companies, causes, organizations, or people who have made a difference in your life. We are happy to share links, and tag people on social media!

Please also share this post with any coffee queers you know. We want to show some love to the folks standing at the intersections of gender identity, sexual orientation, and coffee!
