Café Momentum

We’re honored to reshare Chad’s Humanitarian of the Year acceptance speech from last year’s @beardfoundation Awards. This recognition affirmed something we see every day: when young people are surrounded by opportunity, accountability and community, they rise.

For over a decade, Café Momentum has been more than a restaurant. It's been proof that when you invest in justice-involved youth, they rise. We're proud to be featured in @CultureMapDAL👇 dallas.culturemap.com/news/restauran…

@cafemomentum is helping her change the story, for herself and the next generation. Tristyn made a promise to be open with her future kids about what she’s been through so they never feel alone. Now, as an ambassador for Cafe Momentum, she’s using her story to inspire others and create a ripple effect of second chances.

Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Chef Robert “RC” Carter’s passion for food began early, inspired by his mother’s love for cooking and a family legacy rooted in hospitality.

But this moment is also a call to action. There are over 60,000 children in this country currently incarcerated. They deserve access to the same opportunities to learn, grow & belong. Watch and share: youtube.com/watch?v=lf9p_E… Help us build momentum: cafemomentum.org/ways-to-give/

I haven't spent much time in Irving itself. I grabbed a coffee at Mas Coffee in that area and liked it. You're close to downtown though, countless places to go: Mabo for Japanese Starship Bagel if you want something casual. Cafe Momentum is generally a can't miss White Rhino is where I often go if I have a meeting downtown (gets busy). Good coffee, good breakfast. The Meteor is a bit closer to you, diner style, good coffee etc.
