How far can a cup of coffee take a student with a dream? In this episode of Brighter Together, we meet Lacy Hollingsworth, the driving force behind Lucky’s Brew—a mobile coffee shop created by Axel ISD to empower students with disabilities through real-world employment and community connection.

 

From late-night grant writing to generous boardroom moments, you’ll hear how a small Texas district launched a student-run coffee trailer that’s already changing lives—one espresso at a time.

 

If you’ve ever wondered how innovation, faith, and a whole lot of hustle can transform special education, this episode will stir your spirit and spark new ideas.

 

Because when students lead—with support, courage, and community behind them—big things start brewing.
