Beyond The Radio with MMR : MMR Press Release- Sunkofa Cafe & Gift Shop Words & Wings Event

Its almost a knowing thought that the Bronx has lost it's culture! That the Bronx, "Home of Hip Hop, Land of the Independent Artist or On the road to making it big" no longer houses venues that are known to inspire; give back or surpass expectations! Welp, on the corner of 174th Street and Boston Road, MMR has rediscovered the Bronx at Sunkofa Café and Gift Shop!!!

Sunkofa Owner Kevin

This fine black owned establishment has become the neighborhoods "safe place". A place to just be YOU and know that its OK! When speaking with one of the two owners, Kevin dished some secrets to this great place. He divulged that in business there are good times and bad; but you "gotta love what you do". Sunkofa hasn't been this gentleman's first business. He has owned many businesses over the 20+ years. He has live in many places of the world and finds that his partnership is what keeps the fire burning. He opens his doors to anyone who has a positive message to give to the community. Opened with the Idea that "We carry Items for Everyone" is simply just an understatement of the true potential of this business!
