Brave's Beginnings

Meet The owner

Meet Jessica Ryan!

A mama blessed with 3 kids (Cash + Co + Callie), who wanted to show and teach them that despite life’s struggles, we are BRAVE and can do hard things - even when we feel we aren’t enough.

Sometimes the Lord blesses us with a vision, and even when we cannot see the future, it’s our decision to trust him and run towards it with faith, integrity and confidence!

SERVE BOLDLY. LIVE BRAVELY.

HOW BRAVE STARTED

The Beginning

Owned and operated by mother of 3, Jessica Ryan. founded Brave in 2021 with $1,000, a dream, and family friends who believed in the vision, all while having a baby on her hip!

The name BRAVE was chosen for the brand to remind myself and others to have courage and display mental and moral strength despite the fears and difficulty in life! 

With previous experience in the food industry and a passion for serving others, Jessica believed there wasn't anything a tasty drink and a smile couldn't fix!

The Middle

Believe it or not, but my daughter Callie was Brave's first employee at the very young age of 5 months! Learning to walk, and talk all while greeting customers at the door was her biggest milestone!

Looking back, I didn’t know what I was doing. Our family is so thankful for this community that has been built and we owe it all the Lord himself! 

The End Goal

While serving delicious drinks was obviously the original idea for Brave, Jessica ultimately wanted to create a safe place for young women to work while they planned and prepared for their future. Over the years by supporting us, the community has helped several young ladies in college and the local work base learning program!

Brave grows daily and invites the community to grow with us. We want our community to feel from us what we have felt from them - love and fellowship!
