Member stories

A community built on shared stories and new beginnings.

VCCH members represent dozens of industries, generations, and cultures — all connected by a belief in what’s possible when we support one another.

“When I opened my café, I didn’t know where to start with permits or marketing. Through VCCH I found mentors, my first accountant, and even my graphic designer. The most important thing I gained was confidence — I never felt like I had to ‘already know everything’ in order to belong here.”

Minh Nguyen

Owner, Morning Bloom Café

“I’m not Vietnamese, but VCCH quickly became my favorite network in Houston. It’s one of the few spaces where collaboration truly crosses neighborhoods, industries, and cultures.”

Alex Johnson

Marketing Consultant & VCCH Member

Inclusion is a core value, not a checkbox.
