I started at Tala in the midst of the pandemic, where many of us have been able to pursue new hobbies, interests, and curiosities.

Favorite Memory: A Fruitful Year

Regardless of where you are in life or what you're going through, life has a funny way of bringing you joy. In my case, everything began changing for the better when I came to Tala. I was brought on board to the team the day before the cafe's first birthday last year. And let me tell you, so much has happened that this past year has felt like three.
