This week on The Fresh Bunch, longtime BFF of the show, Ogbanna "The Hip Hop Florist" Coates, joins us for an inspiring conversation about entrepreneurship, culture, flowers, and community.

Ogbanna shares his journey from working in mass-market during COVID to recognizing the power and necessity of flowers in people's lives. Fueled by creativity, music, and a vision of Hippy Psychedelic Roses, he has built a unique path in the floral industry. We also celebrate an exciting new chapter as he opens his creative shared workspace, today on Juneteenth.

We discuss the influence of music on his entrepreneurial journey, creating opportunities for others, and why flowers truly are for everybody. Ogbanna also shares his Father's Day flower pick fit for a king—the mighty King Protea.

Plus, in a fun twist, Ogbanna turns the microphone around and interviews us for a change! Joining the conversation is our very own Rose Expert, Celine, while Mimi even breaks into song along the way.

As we celebrate Juneteenth, we reflect on its history and the power it holds to bring people together through understanding, culture, and community. And of course, it wouldn't be a Fresh Bunch episode without a little food talk.

Don't miss this heartfelt, uplifting, and entertaining conversation with our dear friend, Ogbanna Coates.
