On this episode of the Special Chronicles Podcast's Unified at Work Series S5:Pt3: In celebration of the 8 Year Anniversary of Bitty & Beau's Coffee and with our recent visit a month ago to their Savannah location, we are celebrating a human rights movement disguised as a coffee shop where people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are valued in the workplace. It's a place where diversity isn't just appreciated, it's celebrated. Bitty & Beau's Coffee proudly employs 400+ individuals with disabilities nationwide.

Bitty & Beau's Coffee Co-Founders Ben and Amy Wright join us for an exclusive interview to talk about their family story before their popular coffee shop was established.
