Скачать или смотреть Charlotte breweries team up to create diversity in craft beer industry

Two Charlotte breweries are partnering for a paid internship program with the goal of increasing diversity in the craft beer industry.

Did you know that out of nearly 9,000 breweries nationwide only 1% of them are Black-owned? A few local Charlotte people are working very hard to change that.

The group includes Lashae Johnson, a Black woman, who started her journey to own a brewery. She recently discussed her business with WCNC Charlotte's Billie Jean Shaw in the most recent "For The Culture" feature.

She's the first person selected to be part of a new 12-week diversity internship program at Sugar Creek Brewing Company in Charlotte's lower South End community. The company created the program after a call was made for more diversity and inclusion in businesses following the death of George Floyd, a Black man who died while in police custody in Minneapolis.
