  • From pharmaceutical researcher to neighborhood coffee maven, Prashanthi Reddy turned her café dreams into a 17-year Greenwood institution. ✨

Meet @makeda.and.mingus where sustainability meets community (and yes, there’s a sweet story behind that name - featuring a jazz legend and a beloved pup! 🐕🎷)

This isn’t just another coffee shop. It’s where neighbors become friends and sustainable practices are the norm. ⏩ Read the full interview on the Intentionalist’s blog and learn about the @okapi_reusables program!
