Essentially we had cappuccino bars that we brought to special events, bringing the entire cafe experience to our clients. Our business has been around since 2005, when we started doing a very mobile version of what we have in Playa Vista. Please tell us a little bit about your business?Ī. The Ackah-Miezah family enjoy spending time at their coffee shop, Cafe Ruisseau. It’s been a challenge but I think we are better for it. Since my kids are a bit older now the conversations about the social movements taking place in our world have forced all of us to really think deeply, listen intently and be deliberate in how we act in the world and how we treat other people.
That being the case, 2020 has been a year of a lot of deep and moving conversations between us. Being a mixed race family (we’re actually a “mixed culture” family since we all belong to the human race, but you know what I mean), we have a strong and innate proclivity toward inclusion and diversity. It’s a space where folks can feel welcomed and known and have a genuine experience that goes beyond the beverage we make for you. I think that the quality that we have together as a family is what we’ve been able to bring to the cafe. We’re a fun family and spend a lot of time together hanging at beaches, playing basketball, taking trips and just being together. We have three amazing kids and a few others that we think of as our kids. Seattle is where I was first introduced to coffee, but more importantly where I met Brooke, my best friend and wife of 22 years. I am a Brit, born to Ghanian parents and was raised in London until my stepdad got a job with Boeing, which brought me to the Seattle area in the 90s. Please tell us a little bit about yourself.Ī.
