Sipping Black Only provides a platform for Black-owned beverage brands and their founders to be uplifted while shifting popular culture to prefer products reflective of Black culture. We accomplish this through promotion, celebration, and community.

The Team"Have a vision. Be demanding." – Lieutenant Colonel Colin Powell
We envision a day when Black-owned brands aren't limited to endcaps and retail promotion only during Black History Month. Black-owned beverage brands deserve shelf space, investment, and commercial success.
That is our vision. That is what we're demanding. |

Demetra Harris
Founder & CEO, Co-Owner | The Plug My favorite Black-owned beverages are: our Limitless loose-leaf tea blend, Davidson Wine Company's Carnival and Almond Sparkling varietals, Hella Cocktail Co.'s Habanero Margarita premium mixer, and A. Genae Tea Co.‘s SereniTEA blend -- just to name a few. These are some of my favorites because on any given day you’ll see me having tea and or wine. And the margarita mixer with a Black-owned tequila is my girls' night go-to! |

Brandi Neloms
Chief Strategy Officer, Co-Owner | The Mouthpiece My favorite Black-owned beverages are hard to narrow down, but let me walk you through a typical day. I start my morning with either BLK & Bold coffee (to which I might add a little LS Cream Liqueur) or our Dope loose-leaf tea blend. At some point in the afternoon I'll have a bottle of The Jugo Bar's Pineapple Jalapeno Cilantro juice. To unwind in the evening, I'll sip on a smooth, full-bodied red wine like Brown Estate's Chaos Theory. |

Julian Harris
Chief Operating Officer | The Janitor My favorite Black-owned beverage is... all of 'em! Seriously, there are so many that I love. If I have to name a few, our Chill loose-leaf tea blend tops the list. Then it's right to the spirits for me, including Uncle Nearest's 1856 Premium Aged Whiskey, SweetBeat Vodka, Redd Rose Vodka, and Deleon Reposado. Like I said, all of 'em! |
