A platform that champions diversity and inclusion for underrepresented minorities in the wine industry.
About us
Wine Unify, a platform that champions diversity and inclusion for underrepresented minorities in the wine industry, was co-founded by notable wine industry figures, DLynn Proctor, Martin R. Reyes MW, Mary Margaret McCamic MW. Armed with three initiatives – to welcome, to elevate, and to amplify underrepresented minorities – Wine Unify seeks to create more visibility and opportunity for people of color. Wine Unify was founded on the belief that education is the cornerstone to progress in any field. Yet many ethnic and racial minorities experience significant barriers to entry – be it financial, mentorship, or a general feeling of exclusion. By fostering wine education for underrepresented minority groups, and amplifying the voices of the people of color who are already thriving within the wine industry, Wine Unify seeks to change this landscape. Outreach, access and funding for wine education are pillars within the mission. In addition, Wine Unify seeks to create an environment with inspiring, inclusive content highlighting the breadth of minority talent in the wine industry.
