Sometimes, all it takes is one person to hold up a mirror and say, “Look. This is us. This is real.”

Tonika Lewis Johnson reminds us that justice isn’t theoretical - It’s visual. It’s local. It’s personal.

We’re grateful to honor Tonika with the 2025 Cynthetta Patton Social Impact Award—for her accolades, her courage and for making the unseen visible. For putting stories of Black life, love, and legacy exactly where they belong: at the center.

Keep showing us what’s possible, Tonika. We’re watching. We’re learning. We’re moved.

———-

Thank you to everyone who supported Emancipation Ball 2025! This year was meaningful for a few key reasons:

1. Our Care Moor Foundation for Civic Engagement hosted its third annual gala, raising money to support college and career opportunities through our donor partners.

2. Moor’s Brewing Company turned 4. Over the past four years, we’ve gone from an idea to putting a Black man on a beer can—and getting that can onto shelves at major retailers and local bars across the region.

3. We now have a growing presence in four major craft beer markets: Chicago, New York, Indiana, and New Jersey. Our goal is still clear—get Moor’s into more hands across the country and become the first nationally distributed Black-owned beer brand to the top ten cities in the US.

We’re also proud to share that we were winners of the Brewing the American Dream program by Samuel Adams, a recognition that highlights our growth and commitment to the industry.

Thanks again to everyone who continues to show up for us. We’re building something bigger than beer—and we’re just getting started!
