Thoughts from my Coffee Cup! with MaryAnne MaryAnne Matos

- Sociedad y cultura
I love coffee, it is the nectar of the Gods (isn't it?)! It starts with the brew...oh the aroma alone makes me happy. That liquid is magic. Honestly, some of the best conversations, thoughts, revelations I've ever had happened over coffee. Yes, it is my "go to" beverage of choice and have had countless talks where, by the time it's finished, a problem is solved...hey! I am a "coffee cup therapist". This title fits so much better than the original ("Let's brew! Coffee and Conversation"), so come on over, grab a cup and let's see what thoughts come out of my coffee cup!

These are just some of my thoughts about that day 20 years ago...

So, we still have work to do...
In The Heights and representation...do we need more? Yes...well then we've got work to do! Just some thoughts on how watching the movie made me feel and the heaviness of many that did not feel represented. The door is open for us to do better and continue to lift each other up.

What did she just ask me?!
I was asked what I felt was a slightly inappropriate question for a phone interview....I don't know...listen and tell me what you think.
