Claudia Shivers founded Queen Coffee Bean after incarceration, drawing from a program for formerly incarcerated individuals, achieving $2,500 in average monthly sales.
With a creative menu and a warm atmosphere, Shivers aims to replicate the comfort of her grandmother's kitchen, making each beverage a personal experience.
Shivers emphasizes the challenges faced by those with a criminal record in finding jobs, highlighting the significant obstacles in the workforce post-incarceration.
The statistics reveal a harsh reality for formerly incarcerated individuals: they are significantly more likely to be unemployed and earn low wages compared to the general population.
