Keynote AddressDevVta Davison, Executive Director, FoodLab Detroit
A native of Detroit and daughter of a preacher, DeVita lived almost 19 years in New York before moving back to her hometown in 2012. For her, words are not just letters strung together; they are vessels for love and fight, heart ache, wisdom, and profound joy. To say she wears her heart on her sleeve doesn't feel adequate; whether decrying from the TED stage injustices in the food system or expounding on the beauty of a ripe strawberry in summer, her passion for this work is palpable. With fiery talk, wide-open arms, and an insatiable appetite for reading the latest in food justice and innovation, DeVita propels the growth of FoodLab Detroit to create a food system truly equitable, sustainable, cooperative and community driven. |
