Mothership Coffee Roasters, Juanny Romero
I am Juanny Romero, a bold MOTHER, a straight-up supersonic boss, fearless female CEO of color, and a child of immigrants. 我与女性农民合作，采购合乎道德的咖啡，呼吸社会变革. My vehicle for that change is coffee, and I’ve been hard at it for 15 years, 打造该国为数不多的女性和少数族裔拥有的咖啡品牌之一. I am a VEGAS Inc 40 under 40, a NAWBO Entrepreneur of the Year, a Leadership Las Vegas Alumna, 以及2023年内华达州年度小企业人物和2023年SBA年度小企业人物全国亚军. 我的热情是通过我的家人、员工和客户投资于我的社区. My work is to create what matters, and what matters is connection. So get on board: grab some Mothership Coffee and drink like a MOTHER!
