Coffee BELLO Potsdam, A Journey of Gratitude and Belief

In the pages of my diary this August, I reflect on a journey I never imagined would begin in Germany. While I had planned to launch my new book Two Cultures One Mind in the USA this fall, life took a different turn with the birth of Coffee BELLO Potsdam. What started as a vision has grown into a brand embraced by German coffee lovers for its aroma, quality, and taste. This path is not mine alone—it carries the prayers of my daughter, the wisdom of my parents, the legacy of my grandparents, and the memory of my late godfather who gave his life to coffee. With the dedication of my German partners, investors, and roasting master Mathias, I now stand as one of the first Africans to introduce coffee roasted in Germany in my own unique style. Books and coffee—two very different vessels, yet both serve the same purpose in my life: to inspire, to create awareness, and to share hope.
