Come As You Are

Tiffanie Barriere, the drinking coach herself sits down with Greg and Sother to talk about her long and storied career behind - and in front of - many different bars. From the iconic “One Flew South” in Atlanta’s airport to helping empower folks who want to change the world, Tiffanie has been in lots of different situations and she’s been unapologetically herself in every single one. Tune in for a conversation that gets surprisingly deep about self-worth, the challenge of elevating black voices in a very white space, and the challenge of assigning a value to your work.
Plus (on a lighter note), White Claw has finally made an innovation that modern science had said was impossible. You heard it here first, the future is now.
Additionally, here at HRN we’re celebrating our 15th year and deepening our commitment to giving voice to the next generation of food systems storytellers. And we need your help. Our internship and fellowship programs help activate new possibilities for underrepresented and underestimated young people—through experiential journalism, audio engineering, and production training. When you donate to help support these programs, you can be entered to win a dinner for 2 at an amazing restaurant in 1 of 8 cities, and tickets to a concert at a great venue in one of those cities. Thank you for supporting our work to educate the next generation of food systems storytellers!
