Brittney Lewis “blew.” was born and raised in Virginia, blew moved to Philly in 2006 to go to Acting school at University of the Arts. After two years of training, she realized that she wanted to start a coffeehouse in Philadelphia.
Leotah's Place Coffeehouse in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia is a place where neighbors can find rest, support, work, and a positive space to bring together the different flavors of the community. Composed mostly of African Americans, Vietnamese, Polish, Irish, Dominican and Puerto Rican working families, these neighborhoods are in need of life giving businesses to provide a relational environment, activities, affordable goods, awareness & empowerment of resources, and creative outlets to tackle the high rates of crime and drugs and improve self-worth.
