Jackie Nguyen, founder of Café Cà Phê, highlights the second installment of the Library’s four-part series on how to make entrepreneurship in Kansas City more inclusive, diverse, equitable, accessible, and liberating – more IDEAL for all.  

Café Cà Phê is Kansas City’s first Vietnamese coffee shop. Nguyen started her business as a food truck in 2020 but since has opened a brick-and-mortar location in the Columbus Park neighborhood. She discusses entrepreneurship through the lens of allyship and diversity as a first-generation Vietnamese American and daughter of a refugee.
