We had the good fortune of connecting with Ebony Graham and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ebony, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My decision to launch R Bar Iz Mobile stems from a fusion of my extensive bartending experience and entrepreneurial drive.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My professional journey is a blend of passion, perseverance, and collaboration. What sets me apart is the fusion of extensive experience and an entrepreneurial spirit that led to the creation of a unique mobile bartending business. I take pride in assembling an exceptional team of highly trained Mixologists dedicated to delivering outstanding customer service.

Getting to this point wasn’t easy; challenges were met with resilience. Overcoming obstacles involved adapting to industry shifts, refining skills, and building a robust support network. The key lesson learned is the importance of continuous learning and embracing change. My belief in God allows me to step out on faith to be guided in the path He wants me to go.

My brand and story embody a commitment to crafting delightful experiences. I want the world to know that our mobile bartending services go beyond beverages; they encapsulate passion, creativity, and a dedication to making lasting memories. Cheers to the journey ahead!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Detroit boasts a myriad of attractions! Crafting an ideal itinerary involves exploring downtown landmarks, taking a leisurely stroll along the Riverwalk, and delving into the vibrant scenes of the riverfront and midtown areas. Immerse yourself in the rich history at the Charles H. Wright Museum and indulge in the arts with a captivating play at the Masonic Temple.

For culinary adventures, savor the diverse flavors of Detroit. Whether it’s the delectable seafood or the enticing Mediterranean dishes, my favorites include Joe Muer, Sinbad’s, Kabuki Sushi (Farmington Hills), and Pita Cafe (Southfield) – essential stops for an unforgettable gastronomic journey.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Credit and recognition are due to numerous individuals in my journey: Rick, my partner and unwavering support, consistently encouraging and motivating me. My mother, Juanita, funded my bartending school endeavor. Thanks to my father, Curtis, stepmother Uni, sisters Fairy, Kahlea, and Kyra, and brothers Kevin, Juan, and Cleveland. Gratitude extends to Tiesha, Nicole, my bartenders from day one Maresha and Brianna, J. Autrey Beauty, as well as all aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family, and other supporters.

A special shoutout to Ms. Wanda, the owner of Levels Events Space.

And, not to forget our Junior Mixologist, Grace, who crafts kids’ Mocktails and enhances parties!
