Lateshia Dowell
Lateshia Dowell wants to live in a world where little girls aspire to be entrepreneurs instead of princesses, where everyone knows the difference between there, their and they’re and where dessert is always served first.
When she’s not dancing in her kitchen while whipping up new recipes for her signature piekies (pie cookies), you may see her promoting the brand on TV or at a local farmers market.
Lateshia is passionate about HIV/AIDS awareness and has participated in AIDS Walk Detroit for the last five years. Twenty percent of the proceeds from Flaky Bakes are donated to local organizations that support HIV/AIDS awareness.
As a media professional with 10 years of experience, she is a jackie-of-all-trades. She can write a lead, breaking news article, press release and tweet with a few characters to spare. She’s worked for some of the top local news outlets, including the Detroit Free Press, Local 4 (WDIV) and CBS Detroit.
If she’s not baking, you can find her glued to her laptop or cell phone—serving as the engagement specialist for Zoup! Fresh Soup Company—or exploring Detroit like a tourist instead of a native.
