Chef Kiki Louya is the new executive director for the Detroit Food Academy | Eater Detroit

"A Detroit-based, youth-centered nonprofit that teaches school-aged kids practical kitchen skills and life skills through professional-development programming. Under incoming executive leadership, the organization emphasizes linking current students with alumni who have gone on to restaurant careers, higher education, or other fields, and seeks to broaden participants' views of food-related careers beyond traditional kitchen roles to include food writing, content creation, and nonprofit leadership. Programming includes youth-run product initiatives and multiple citywide kitchen sites, and the group hopes to eventually secure a centralized headquarters instead of its current dispersed operations." - Serena Maria Daniels
