I recently had a giveback event at MOTW Coffee right here in Indy. I had never heard of it before and thought it was just another small business interested in partnering with my sorority. When we got there, I noticed a lot of international food markets and restaurants and remember thinking, “What a odd location for another random coffee shop.” Once I stepped inside, I knew it wasn’t just any coffee shop.<\/p>\n
The first thing I saw on the wall was a Palestinian flag. I looked around at other artwork and their were two paintings: one of Muhammad Ali and another of Malcolm X. Next to the door were photos with plaques underneath that I read. each one described a donation or trip employees took to help crises in the Middle East; places like Yemen and Syria.<\/p>\n
After a quick Google search, I saw that MOTW stands for “Muslims of the World.”<\/p>\n
Already the business spent a lot of their proceeds to helping other causes, but they also were willing to do a giveback to support domestic violence awareness. I was in awe of this small, social justice business and was excited to learn more. I know we aren’t on the Islamic unit yet, but I look forward to exploring more about the Islamic faith as it had been an area of interest during my studies as an International Studies major.<\/p>\n
The drinks were also very good. Prices comparable to Starbucks, but their Yemeni Chai was amazing. They also had a more extensive list of refresher flavors and I heard those were really good too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
