Kevon King Email and Phone Number

Kevon King is a 27-year old food service entrepreneur, community engager, and youth educator from and residing in Washington DC. In 2018, he co founded The Village DC: Cafe and Lab, a communal cafe and event space located in the Union Market neighborhood DC with the mission of activating enriching spaces to create positive impacts for local entrepreneurs, creatives, and food makers. While taking some time to study business at Virginia State University, Kevon found a passion for youth programming while in a work study program at The First Baptist Church of Petersburg, where Kevon mentored several teens in after school sessions on homework and professional skills. From there, he came back home to DC to launch his own projects of this nature, gaining valuable experience as a Manager at top fast casual companies in Sweetgreen and Chipotle along the way. Kevon uses his role as the Director of Business and Community Engagement at The Village DC to create a growth based business model and flourishing cafe environment. In addition to leading the operation of a specialty coffee and food program, Kevon has launched several seasonal community drives, entrepreneurship workshops for youth and students, and curated small business marketplaces every weekend to pay forward opportunity to other small business owners. He is also a frequent public speaker and has attended speaking engagements at several schools in the DC area speaking on entrepreneurship and professional and life skills. When he’s not busy growing the Village, Kevon loves playing team sports, lifting weights, listening to podcasts, and spending valuable time with his family and friends. Kevon looks to influence the way we look at community and business by curating enriching environments for youth to learn real life skills and entrepreneurs to thrive, grow and network.
