Theodora Lee, owner of Theopolis Vineyards, on how 'the wine industry hasn’t fully embraced Black professionals' and what can be done better.

“If you want to create real systemic change, you must work with us to create educational opportunities, hire qualified people of color in the wine industry and support our organizations.” The wine industry can serve as a catalyst for this change. Food and wine is something all people enjoy. We all eat and drink. What better forum to bring people together? Let’s break bread together and come up with solutions for our communities.
When Black Lives Matter is no longer in the spotlight, what and who will be there? We need everyone to be true champions of diversity, inclusion, equity, equality and justice.
