It’s part of why she and Nicholas have embraced opportunities to work with organizations like Keep It Run Hundred, which focuses on wellness. “The work we do with LABIC, and really what we’re trying to do with Sip & Sonder, is to help people be their authentic selves,” says Thomas.

Recently, they gave presentations on how to form a legal entity and how to protect your brand through trademarks. Nicholas and Thomas, who met at the same New York law firm, use their legal expertise to guide their workshop topics. “So we’ve done fireside chats with individuals, we’ve hosted workshops, and we’ve partnered with other community programs and organizations.”
“The mission of LABIC is to connect the resources we have, and those within our network, to entrepreneurs and investors within the Black community,” says Nicholas. They’re also practicing attorneys and co-founders of the nonprofit LA Black Investors Club (LABIC).
Part of what makes Thomas and Nicholas’s story unique is that they aren’t just business owners and baristas. Thomas and Nicholas pour their passion into Inglewood “This is going to remain a space that is for them, growing and responding to the needs and wants of the community.” “I think that’s what resonated with people, in terms of accepting Sip & Sonder with warm, open arms,” says Thomas. Values like Black ownership and community. And that could only happen if we were real about where we came from and our values.” We want to be in Inglewood,’” says Thomas. And it’s why she and her business partner, Amanda-Jane Thomas, decided to open their shop on the corner of Market and Queen. Nicholas says that pride and energy, so reflective of what she’d left behind in New York, drew her to the area.
