It’s Okay to Be Different | Evani Jesslyn | TEDxYouth@SWA

Evani is a world-renowned coffee enthusiast, who is currently living her dreams of being the first ever, Indonesian, international-class barista. Born on the 18th of August in 1990, Evani was never much of a coffee lover, but as the years passed, her hate turned into a newfound love for coffee. She was prepared to leave her accounting job in America, and risk it all to delve deeper into the world of coffee. Evani’s journey included attending roasting classes in San Francisco and Singapore. With hard work and dedication, she managed to open several coffeeshops, and even presented coffee to the President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo.
