Creighton Davis

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to an entrepreneur whose vision and dedication are changing the game in Oakland. Creighton Davis, the force behind Kinfolx, is creating not just a coffee shop or a wine bar but a vital community space where black and brown people can come together, breathe, and connect.

In a world where safe and welcoming spaces for people of color can be hard to find, Creighton's Kinfolx stands as a beacon of inclusiveness and unity. His journey to entrepreneurship is unique, having previously been a public school teacher and an attorney in the South Bronx. But it was his role on a local commission that opened his eyes to the need for more spaces where people of color could relax and feel a true sense of community.

Kinfolx isn't just about serving coffee or wine; it's about creating a space where connections are forged, relationships are built, and a sense of belonging is nurtured. In a fast-paced world, we all need places to exhale, unwind, and connect with others who understand our experiences.

Now, the exciting news – on Black Entrepreneurs Day, Creighton Davis was awarded the NAACP Powershift Grant. This grant, worth its weight in gold, is a game-changer for Kinfolx and a testament to Creighton's unwavering commitment to his community.

So, what's Creighton's plan for this grant money? He's got big dreams. He intends to invest it wisely, not just in equipment but in people and events. It's about creating an ecosystem where the community can thrive, learn, and grow together.

Creighton Davis receiving the NAACP Powershift Grant on Black Entrepreneurs Day is a major statement. It's a powerful message to the black community and the business industry that we can look out for one another and strive together. It shows that when we invest in entrepreneurs like Creighton, we invest in the bigger picture, unity.

Representation matters in the business world. Creighton's success isn't just his own; it's a symbol of what's possible when we support black entrepreneurs who are dedicated to building inclusive spaces and fostering a sense of belonging.

Kinfolx is more than a coffee shop; it's a movement, a place where black and brown people can gather, connect, and build a stronger community. Creighton Davis is not just an entrepreneur; he's a community builder, a game changer, and a source of inspiration.
