Audio story #9: Jodie Williams

Meet Jodie Williams (@jodiealicia [https://www.instagram.com/jodiealicia/]), one of Britain's top talents in the coffee and track industry. Jodie has been a predominant voice in the coffee industry for 6 years, and it all started with a cup of iced latte. She is a 2-time Great Britain Olympic athlete, with her most recent competition in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, where she participated in the 400m final. This has been a long time coming, since recovering from a hamstring injury in 2012. She is a longtime advocate for the rights of women in coffee farming communities, especially how they are affected by low wages and a lack of opportunities for leadership and management. She believes she is #morethanjustanathlete [https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/morethanjustanathlete/] as she has developed multiple passions and interests outside of sports, including coffee and her YouTube channel. "If you're passionate about something, learn everything you can about it and find a community that is equally as passionate! This will bring you unparalleled joy and a deep sense of acceptance in a space that truly aligns with who you are." How do you think women in coffee farming communities can be supported? We'd love to hear your thoughts.
