EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Black Businesses Matter, I had the opportunity to sit down with Nikki Bravo, Founder of Momentum Coffee. Momentum Coffee is an independent coffee shop located in various locations across the Chicago community. Although Nikki is one of the powerhouses behind this coffee shop – her background comes from the Public Sector and Non-Profit management industry. In this episode, we learn about Nikki's younger childhood in Columbia, Maryland, and how she’s always been a hard-working individual from a young age. We dive deep into Nikki’s starting in the coffee industry and how her husband’s passion for coffee helped cultivate the start of their business. We discussed her background at FAMU and how it shaped her skills to be able to run their businesses. Our conversations steer toward the importance of community in the coffee shop industry and why it is so essential to Momentum Coffee. 

Nikki has over 20+ years of experience in the Public Sector and Non-profit management industry
