BRAVO!!!! Im so happy and elated for my sister Devita Davison for being honored by this Toyota Standing O-vation from none other than Mama O herself! Devita is a mover, shaker, and all-around bad sista doing some amazing things in her hometown of Detroit. Check her out! #inspiration #womenwholead #rolemodels #leaders #changeagents Kitchen Connect: Detroit is full of small food startups who lack the infrastructure to get a strong start. You can find jam, cookies, soup and sushi made in individuals kitchens and sold out of homes, in farmers markets and at catered events. Devita Davison is helping home cooks expand their businesses with Kitchen Connect, the organization takes existing community kitchens in churches and community centers, updated them so that local food entrepreneurs could cook and bake their goods. Were taking underutilized spaces like church kitchens, were turning them into incubators, Davison says, Here is where these budding food entrepreneurs can find a safe space, a low-barrier-of-entry space, where they can now test out their product. And then what were hoping to do is, as they graduate out of Kitchen Connect, theyll go on to contribute to Detroits vibrant economy.
