Our young men deserve to be known for their potential before they’re ever seen as a problem.
At Kismet of Kings, Chef Hamilton and Chef Garcia brought a vision for building relationships along with their culinary expertise. They invited Jersey City Police Department into our space, bringing our Kings, chefs, and officers together to cook, learn, and connect.
Relationships need opportunities like these to grow. Sharing everyday experiences gives young people and officers a chance to know one another beyond enforcement and begin building trust.
Thank you to Houz of Goute for making this connection possible and to JCPD for showing up. A community’s commitment to its young people must include what we’re willing to build with them.
