Kamau Bell (CNN’s United Shades of America) and dubbed a highlight of the Int'l NYC Fringe Theater Festival by the New Yorker.
The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts listed her in their Top 100 People, Movements, and Organizations Changing the Future of Culture in the Nation" and the Pop Culture Collaborative awarded her a Senior Fellowship on comedy for social change.
Her culminating report for the fellowship, entitled, “Funny is Funny: Development Models for Diverse Voices in Comedy” is being hailed as a farm-to-table guide on humor in mass media. Her comedy special, “On Behalf of All Muslims,” presented by Golden Thread Productions in association with Brava Theater for Women in the Arts, drew a record breaking audience of 700 people to its theatrical world premiere, in San Francisco.

In 2005, when corporate coffee dominated American culture, Ritual unknowingly started a fun and crazy revolution that would ultimately help launch the new coffee movement. We buy 95% of our beans directly from our producer partners, setting the highest standard in the coffee industry. This ensures we get our hands on the best beans in the world, but more importantly, that our farmers maintain the quality of life they deserve. Now a bona fide San Francisco original, we’ve also earned our iconic status as one of the best coffee roasting companies in the world. Despite our mad-scientist pursuit of the perfect cup, we’re determined to demystify the entire coffee experience. So whether you’re a fancy pants coffee nerd or a complete novice, we’ll always deliver our coffee in the most fun and down-to-earth way we know how. For us, being nice is just as important as making the best coffee.
