James & Joy Frazier: Pioneers of Black Excellence in Wine & Spirits with TheSipNYC
James and Joy Frazier, co-owners of TheSipNYC, are making waves in the world of luxury events and Black-owned wine and spirits. With over 20 years of marketing and branding expertise, they founded TheSipNYC in 2020 with a mission to curate top-tier events that spotlight Black-owned liquor brands, connecting them with key strategic partners to break into the highly competitive New York market.
Their vision goes beyond showcasing premium beverages. TheSipNYC is dedicated to providing Black entrepreneurs with the resources to succeed—offering guidance in funding, licensing, and accounting, ensuring that brands have the tools to thrive.
In 2023, Black-owned businesses made up only a small fraction of the overall alcohol industry, but that tide is changing. The Frazier’s innovative events, including their new “Sip n Chat 17 series, are driving the movement. “Sip n Chat 17 is more than just networking; it’s a community-building experience where education and conversation flow
