Ama is a 10-year-old girl who was born in Las Marías, Puerto Rico in the mountainous region of the island. Her parents named her in honor of the flower Amapola, but she goes by “Ama”, which in the Spanish language means “to love”.
She was fascinated by the magic coffee bean stories told by her beloved great-grandfather Toño, the coffee farmer who’s coffee made it all the way to the Vatican City. Ama decided to plant her own coffee with a collection of magical seeds that survived hurricane Maria.
Ama represents the power of youth and shows how with one small step, a positive mind and a lot of curiosity and enthusiasm one can make a big difference. She is a young entrepreneur who sells the best coffee to delight others and have them fall in love with the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. In the process, she educates children at risk, helping them to escape poverty through the power of coffee.
