Today, Carpenter’s Cafe & Catering had the honor of catering lunch for United Way of Tarrant County’s All Staff Retreat. It’s always special when we are asked to return year after year; it means we’re doing something right.

This year, not only did we delight taste buds, but I also had the privilege of sharing my story about growing up in Lake Como, Texas. Those experiences shaped me into the business owner and entrepreneur I am today. We discussed how the neighborhood has evolved and the resources I believe could make a difference for our long-time residents and their descendants.

I also thought it would be great to share a short video for those who aren’t familiar with the History of the neighborhood.

Thank you NBC DFW & Deborah Ferguson for sharing our journey! 

Carpenter's Café and Catering unveiled a mural that tells a story of family history and a message of inclusion. The mural shows the word "gather" spelled out in American Sign Language.

"It signs the word gather, right? Because that's what it's all about. Like our space is about gathering people together and sharing a meal and congregating," Katrina Carpenter told NBC5. "Our space is a space that has been known to gather people from all over the city. No matter what race, no matter what background you are. And, this mural exemplifies that."
