Why I Started
I'd jumped jobs and studies a lot because I didn't feel the passion and the impact that I was having. I always knew that I wanted to start a business. I came from a small city in Vietnam and most people were running small businesses to make ends meet, including my family. I took a lot of inspiration from my parents. They were always working to take care of us. Now living here in Spain, I don't see a lot of Vietnamese (or South East Asian) representation. I started a business to share my culture, to inspire and to give back to the community that had given me the opportunity to be here.
What I'm Working On
I recently started a specialty coffee brand based in Barcelona with the aim to promote Vietnamese coffee and eventually coffees from other less represented countries such as those in South East Asia.
