Hola mi gente! Welcome to this throwback episode of The Wine & Chisme Podcast. I choose to highlight this episode because I admire this woman and her dedication to bring women to the forefront of the coffee industry. Diana Hoyas is the Founder of Muchacha Coffee. Diana knew she not only wanted to bring delicious coffee from her native Colombia to the masses, but wanted to ensure that the entire process from picking the beans to roasting and delivery was done for women, by women. I hope you enjoy her story and share your thoughts with me.
BIO:
As a young Latina woman, I have many times experienced first hand the daily difficulties that woman face and the struggles they go through when climbing the corporate ladder. My name is Diana, I am from Medellín Colombia and that used to be my reality, just like it probably is for many of you around the world. Only recently I understood the importance of inner strength, self-esteem, answering the call to help others and most importantly female empowerment. We can only nourish the world with our gifts when we have found them within us, and we can only find them when we believe that they exist. Now that I have discovered them I realized that my true vocation is to serve as the vehicle and channel to give that same confidence to as many women as possible.
