Imagine growing up wanting to be a chef, but then at 12 you realize you need to make money so you decide to major in food science. Now imagine you're in grad school you realize you hate being in labs, oh and your school loses your research grant. So then you find a job in collegiate athletics administration and you love it, but then your mother has a stroke so you take a sabbatical. You try to get back into that career by working for a new school in an area where no one looks like you, and no one shares your experiences. Instead of leaving you decide to start a business around tea. Believe it or not this is the real life story of Amber Jackson and The Black Leaf Tea & Culture Shop, a business that shares a love for tea, engages with the community and celebrates black culture. Now while this is a story about tea, business, and creating your own community it's also about alignment, being open to fate putting you on the right path, and finally mastering the art of the pivot.
