“Chrishon’s obvious love for the wine industry and her drive to make her own and other Black-led brands succeed in it are very contagious. Her energy makes our organization better,” said Phil Long, president of AAAV and founder and winemaker at Longevity Wines. “Chrishon will be an asset to our leadership team and we look forward to working together, especially on fundraising and building partnerships that will help AAAV members thrive.”
