Project in development - Women in Coffee - the audio series · Friday September 2, 2011 by colin newell
Just time stamping this for my own sanity and motivation.
After doing a fairly successful podcast at the WCCCS “For the Love of Coffee” – chatting with the industry movers, brewers and shakers (only men talking…) I realized that I need to approach this again – this time for the gals…
Because there are as many (or more) hard working ladies in the coffee business as there are guys – and I probably will not be surprised to find that the ladies have to work harder to cover as much ground(s) as the guys.
Some of the questions I will put forward: Does gender matter in coffee world? What, if any, pay equity issues exist? Promotional issues? Safety? Yes, I have to ask that as well – Do women feel safe working and traveling in the coffee industry.
I may, obviously, touch a few nerves…
but that is what I do.
So stay tuned as I flesh this out!
Credit where credit is due – I thought of this but Julia Barber of The Western Canada Coffee Collective is giving it legs by throwing her support behind this project. Hey, at this point, Julia Barber is, quite arguably, the hardest working person in the business!
