Seizing the Moment

During the pandemic, Ida González Méndez’s coffee business, I Say It With Café, thrived as companies sought virtual team-building activities like her Coffee Tasting Online Experiences. With demand for her coffee baskets and events booming, Ida needed support to scale her growing business.

That’s where Michigan Women Forward stepped in. With a small business loan, Ida expanded her operations to meet rising demand, turning a surge of interest into sustainable growth.

“Michigan Women Forward helped me share my passion for coffee with more people and grow my business,” Ida says.
