This picture taken on May 15, 2024 shows coffee producer Neide Peixoto selecting coffee beans at the Santo Antonio farm in Santo Antonio do Amparo, Minas Gerais. Raphael Brandao beams with pride as he talks about the high-end Brazilian coffee he produces with beans sourced exclusively from Black farmers in a country where many still associate the product with slavery. Brandao is a leader in the so-called "Black Business" wave in Brazil that promotes commerce among people of African descent as a tool for social progress. Peixoto is one of the first to sell her product to Brandao.
