“I never thought the audience would react to my story as they did. Receiving applause, seeing tears in their eyes, or people telling me, ‘I could identify with your story’….that empathy has been very, very, very special.”

These words are from Ericka, creator of the film "Reborn from Coffee" (one of five in our "Stronger Than Coffee" series).
