What the heck is actually happening?
While we at Cup of Kin were quiet in our communication, the whole team were working hard behind the scenes. There’s so much going on that I feel like walking on constant inhale — I need to remind myself to breathe out. Sharing it all here feels like a way to pause for me and exhale with you. I wanted to let you in on what’s been happening before it all bursts out at once later. This is just a little teaser, and in the future you can expect more posts as my outlet to share.
There has been a little too much going on recently and things are not really looking to slow down. I figured blogging will be my new way to communicate and update everyone on the life of Cup of Kin.
We’ve had a few big shifts: events have ramped up, I’ve handed more day-to-day responsibilities to the team as I step back a little to seek a little career in public sector. All of this is happening while we prepare to open a new residency for the trailer!
Yes! you read that right! I have subtly just dropped a bomb there. We are opening a new permanent residency for Cup Of Kin. Writing this feels surreal. Three years ago, I was still building the trailer. Since then, we tried housing it in two locations, and figured that an events-focused rhythm (plus my new job) has worked really well. So why open another location?
Well, probably because my brain will exercise all possible options when an opportunity presents itself? Or maybe it’s the ambitious self that thinks I can manage a full-time job and a business? Or maybe it’s that I believe in the long-term vision of Cup of Kin, and I managed to infect our lovely team with the same disease?
Well, whichever one it is, it is happening, and it is real! Our cream-beige, rustic-looking trailer will be housed in Leeds again! Our new location where we can welcome you every day and create those coffee moments which I missed so much.
This time it feels different! I am stronger and armed with a fleet of baristas. This is happening and we are motivated. We want to continue to create community and those moments with YOU again. I have missed them moments with you dearly, but I cannot wait till I sip on a coffee while having a catch up with you for our new home residency.
