Joshua Wanyama was born in Nairobi, Kenya. He received a B.S. in Architecture at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities in 2003. Immediately upon completion of his college degree, he started Spectrum Interactive Media, LLC.-a web design and development company in Minneapolis, MN.

Anthony Colbert, Sr. started a company, Spectrum Corporation, 20 years ago that focused initially on just financial services. When he began his business, there were few African American male business owners in the very competitive financial services industry.

One day, my friend invited me to visit this new coffee house located right outside of downtown Houston on Washington Avenue. I was amazed at the unique design of the place, the aroma of coffee, pastries and tea and the site of outlets sprawled everywhere throughout the building. It seemed like the ideal place to use as a “virtual office.” For small business owners having a place to get away from the home office is critical.
