Northwestern University is committed to supporting minority-owned businesses, and they’re following their mission with a new partnership. The university recently switched its dining hall coffee provider to BLK & Bold, the country’s first nationally distributed, Black-owned coffee company. BLK & Bold dedicates 5% of all profits to nonprofit youth organi- zations across the nation, helping children get the resources they need for future success.

The partnership kicked off with a meet-and-greet from BLK & Bold co-founder Rod Johnson. Students gathered to hear the company’s story, taste coffee and receive samples from Johnson’s “Recipes for Impact” cookbook.
