Since 2021, I’ve given everything to my business. I can’t even quantify all that sacrificed along the way. So many of you have asked, “How can I support your shop?” Well: IAMBLACK.COFFEE Whether you buy a bag of coffee, a cup, or even just a sticker—it means something to me.

lol. Drake withdrew the petition against Spotify and UMG. I….. this is the most anticlimating ending of such a beef that there’s ever been. Did he just decide to accept the ‘L’? This is actually when he shoulda released “Honestly, Nevermind” 😂

In 2021 I left my job and put everything into my first coffee shop, Black Coffee ATL. For two years, we were THEE vibe. Last year we decided to relocate after not renewing our lease. But Construction took forever. We got it out the mud, literally. Thank God, we open our doors 12/4/24 🖤✊🏿🙌🏿 #BlackSky

I gave this lady my business FedEx account number to ship us a machine we purchased gently used. I told her to see what the most reasonable shipping would be. Yo. Why she go up in there and play a whole game? Why she really let them charge me $1800 for shipping from Colorado to Atlanta. Bruh.
