Rockin’ Recipient Scott Conklin Works as a Barista at an Inclusive Coffee Shop!!

Ruby’s Rainbow,

My name is Josie and wanted to share with you all how one of your Rockin’ Recipients has impacted my community. His name is Scott and he is a barista at a new inclusive coffee shop in my community of Greensboro NC, A Special Blend. Scott works on the weekends and is in charge of blending up some of the most delicious smoothies ever. Scott is a hard worker, and it shows in his attention to detail and concern for the quality of the product.

As a student I always find myself at A Special Blend to study because it is such a positive environment. While I’m studying Scott often will come over to chat before his shift. We talk about everything, really and he has taught me a lot about college life and being a good human. He is always there to offer a hug or fist bump to break up the stress of a study session. I love hearing about his week and all of his life stories.
