Monday inspiration and sharing.

“The arena particularly during the dark and hard moments when we’re trying to be really brave, can be confusing and overwhelming: distractions, noise, a rapidly blinking Exit sign that promises immediate relief from the discomfort, and the cynics in the stands. In those tough matches, when the critics are being extra loud and rowdy, it’s easy to start hustling - to try to prove, perfect, perform, and please. We can either hustle to show the crowd that we deserve to be there, or we can let them scare us off. Either way, it’s easy to let them get in our head and hijack our efforts.

In those moments when we start putting other voices in front of our own, we forget what made us go into the arena in the first place, the reason we’re there. We forget our values. Or, frequently, we don’t even know what they are or how to name them. If we do not have clarity of values, if we don’t have anywhere else to look or focus, if we don’t have that light up above to remind us why we’re there, the cynics and critics can bring us to our knees.
More often than not, our values are what lead us to the arena doors - we’re willing to do something uncomfortable and daring because of our beliefs. And when we get in there and stumble or fall, we need our values to remind us why we went in, especially when we are facedown, covered in dust and sweat and blood.” Brene Brown - Dare to Lead

It is crucial that producers get to taste the current fruits of their labor or in some cases potential ..by sharing what could be in terms of future value addition.
Which is why we try create that honest safe space where we can all share openly with our partners on the ground. Producers are the citizen experts they know about their needs and aspirations their successes and their failures and what we need to do as the expert citizens is create space at the table for them to come and share that knowledge because oftentimes they have not been empowered to see that knowledge as expertise and so we try as much as possible to issue out an invitation in which they feel comfortable doing that.
Some of our initiatives have focused sharply around getting producers to brew and drink their own coffee and this case we got to introduce some coffee liqueur to our producer groups made from Rwandese coffee - as human beings we often sometimes believe something when others have done it ….so why not share the experience from our compadres.
It was amazing to have the conversation and tasting experience with some of the farmers as well as see the excitement of what the potential could be beyond the focus on one avenue for the coffee. The other opportunities that may be locally quite lucrative to the various co-operatives or estates.
All in all a great laugh was enjoyed and great moments had as we shared some of the plans and potential for their produce.
For us I believe the magic on this day was the laugh’s honest conversations and to really experience who these producers are beyond that cherry they pick and process so diligently.
