Self-taught baker and Bronx native, Kay Elle, is changing her community one cupcake at a time. Togetherness has always been a theme in Kay's life; this has been applied to her food blog, Made by Kay Kitchen, and event series, Lit Black Foodie. Her mission is to invest, contribute and empower black chefs and bakers. This was visible in her first Lit Black Foodie Pop Up in the Bronx, which highlighted local talents. Through the support of the community, Kay was able to award a $1500 grant and magazine spread to one of the chefs that participated in the event. If you would like to donate to the grant fund, please visit GofundMe.com/LitBlackFoodie. You can also connect with Kay on Instagram @MadeByKayKitchen and @LitBlackfoodie
