Lead by Tahiira Allen (Founder: Hue Society & The Roots Fund)
In 2012, Tahiirah opened the prestigious St.Regis, Bal Harbour. Her career ventured through many leadership roles to include, Micheal’s Genuine. Frustrated with the lack of diversity in the industry, she uses her skills to bridge the intersection of wine and culture.
In 2017, she launched Hue Society as a safe space for the community to learn, commune and find resources in one place. She had created a cultural space for the Black community to share their developments and experiences in wine. Tahiirah is the first Black woman to grace the cover of Wine Enthusiast 40 under 40 list and has been featured in Ocean Drive as one of the top 5 female sommeliers, VinePair, Wine Enthusiast, Upscale Magazine, and Imbibe Magazine to name a few. Her work is rooted in empowering the community for both consumers and business owners. Infamous for her pioneering work in the wine industry, Tahiirah recently co-founded The Roots Fund, a nonprofit that will create new educational pathways, financial assistance and career opportunities for Black & Indigenous people to become successful in the wine industry.
Tahiirah is passionate about making an indelible impact in the wine industry, assimilation not required.
