Meet the Women of Color Remaking One North Carolina Town Into a Destination That Celebrates Diversity

"I stopped by Spaceway Brewing Co., an Afrofuturist‑inspired brewery that Briana Brake opened in 2018 after taking up homebrewing following a layoff and joining a brewing incubator at Rocky Mount Mills; at the time she opened it she was one of two Black women brewers in North Carolina, and she aims to raise awareness that Black people are part of the brewing community and bring a unique contribution to the industry." - Alex Temblador Alex Temblador Alex Temblador is a mixed Latinx award-winning travel writer for Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, National Geographic, Lonely Planet, and Tripadvisor, among others.
