Ep 107

Are you curious about how one woman is shaking up the wine world by amplifying underrepresented voices and redefining what it means to be a wine lover?

Today, I’m back with Jamila Conley, the founder of WeRise wines, a wine bar and movement dedicated to amplifying diverse winemakers and challenging the status quo in the wine industry.

Jamila is sharing how she chooses the incredible wines, winemakers that are featured at WeRise wines, and four talented winemakers from Washington and South Africa.

Jamila dives into what she looks for when partnering with wineries. Hint: It’s not solely about diversity but it’s also about quality and amazing stories. She also shares her ambitious dream for the future of WeRise wines.

So, if you are ready to discover some incredibly diverse winemakers, learn what it takes to curate an inclusive wine selection, and get inspired by Jamila’s vision for the future of WeRise wines, then today’s episode is for you!

This is part 2 of my conversation with Jamila so make sure you don’t miss part 1!
