Curious about how to build a sustainable, values-driven business right from your neighborhood? Join us for Coffee & Community, a 60-minute conversation focused on sourcing local from the start. Whether you’re just launching or looking to strengthen your supply chain, this session will offer actionable insights and real talk from an entrepreneur who chose to keep it local—and never looked back.
Why I Chose Local: Shafia gets personal about the inspiration, challenges, and growth that came with local sourcing.
Getting Started: How she found her first vendors, what to watch out for, and where to look (including tools like Faire and Abound).
Discuss ideas, sourcing challenges, and questions in a relaxed, community-driven setting.
Learn simple, cost-effective ways to manage suppliers and track your network.
You’ll walk away with practical tools and the confidence to start building a stronger, more resilient business rooted in your community. There will be coffee.
Our class is open to all entrepreneurs
Facilitator: Shafia Nisa
