Shaunie Grigsby

Founder/Owner, Flava Cafe

Shaunie is a nurturing, joyful spirit who brings Detroit flair to Minnesota. A social entrepreneur, poet, and youth mentor, after 10+ years of youth work in nonprofits, she flipped the script and founded Flava Café in 2022. Her cafe is more than a coffee shop—it's a community hub where creativity, culture and community thrive. Shaunie finds beauty in forgotten places and uses her work to inspire connection and build equity in St. Paul’s Frogtown/Rondo neighborhood.
