Ashtin berry

Ashtin Berry is a hospitality activist, sommelier, mixologist and beverage consultant that creates more than cocktails: She creates change. Combining over fifteen years in the industry with a sociology degree from University of Chicago, Berry has become a top activist and educator on the frontlines of hospitality and humanity; creating safer, more inclusive spaces to have real, intersectional conversations.

In 2018, she founded Radical XChange, an experience-based agency that promotes intersectionality through event series, like the acclaimed symposium Resistance Served honoring Black hospitality workers. Berry also founded America’s Table in 2020, a movement to raise political awareness around the needs of hospitality workers after COVID-19.
