Wednesday was another beautiful Vitals & Vision.

Big thank you to Chad Scott Ron Downs, LCSW • I KNEW THEN ®️ and Chris Williams for sharing your insight, wisdom, and support. And especially for creating space for real, honest conversations.

Thank you to Coffee Uplifts People (CUP) for giving us a space where we can show up, be vulnerable, and connect.

And of course, thank you to NOWINCLUDED and Complete Health Ventures for helping us stay connected to the resources, information, and support that keep our health moving forward. 🙌🏾

This is what Vitals & Vision is all about: good conversations, real connections, and pouring into one another.

Until next time!

Tech Tuesday is coming to CUP! 💻☕✨

Join us September 15 from 12–1:30PM as Maya + Chloe of SiSTEM Tech Collective take over for an interactive afternoon of learning, building, and getting curious about AI.

We’re getting hands-on with Claude coding, asking questions as we go, and actually putting what we learn into practice. Whether you’ve been curious about coding or you’re just trying to figure out what all this AI talk is about—this is your chance to pull up and learn in a space that doesn’t make tech feel intimidating.

Bring your laptop, bring your questions, grab a coffee, and let’s build something. 💻☕

25 years ago today.

There was something special about that beautiful NYC skyline. It made you feel unstoppable. Our hearts are with those who lost a loved one that day.

May we never forget.

Everything we build starts with one question:
How do we create spaces that reflect us?

Most people know us for the coffee.

But that’s only one chapter of the story.

CUP has always been about creating spaces, opportunities, and experiences that pour back into our community. From café to catering, wholesale, grocery shelves, and now our bar, every decision is made with intention.

We’re building something that reflects our culture, our values, and the people we serve.

This has never been just about coffee.
It’s always been about uplifting people.

This is what Coffee Uplifts People looks like.
