Queen Mother Coffee
Queen Mother Coffee is a United Nations Best practice for the empowerment of women’s initiative.
On the United Nation’s International Women’s Day (declared and celebrated globally), Wednesday, March 8, 2006, the world-renowned Queen Mother Dr. Delois Blakely, Community Mayor of Harlem carrying the legacy of Queen Mother Moore, and other women of Harlem, launched “Queen Mother Coffee” — an exclusive brand of organic Ethiopian coffee blended with cardamom and cinnamon.
Queen Mother Coffee is an economic development initiative that is the “brain child” of Queen Mother Dr. Blakely and sponsored by New Future Foundation, Inc. and Harlem Women International. The proceeds from this venture is one of the projects to Save Queen Mother Moore International House. A major goal in saving the house is to provide affordable housing and establish women’s small business Incubators. Queen Mother Coffee is available in 4oz and 16 oz packages. Gift baskets are also available.
“Women’s business initiatives play a major role in sustainable and economic development of communities globally, Queen Mother Coffee is set to be a demonstration model for the world. Women who are looking forward to doing business with governments, institutions and corporations such as Fortune 500’s through concessions, contracts and set asides now have a blueprint to follow.”
