Shanita Nichols, co-founder of Sip & Sonder, is building more than coffee shops. She’s creating spaces where people feel seen, grounded, and connected.
Growing up in an army family and constantly moving, she understood early how important it is to have a place where you belong. That experience became the foundation for Sip & Sonder, now a growing network of cafes and a roastery across Los Angeles rooted in culture and community.
What started as a personal need has grown into something much bigger.
Watch the full episode to hear how she built it and where it’s going next.
