  Co-Founder and CCO of Breadless, Kingswood ’08 Alumna comes back to campus.

  On November 16^th, alumna LaTresha (LC) Howland, K’08, joined the Cranbrook Kingswood Alumni Association board to share her latest venture and passion project as co-founder and CCO of Breadless. With locations in both Detroit and most recently added Rochester Hills, the mission of Breadless is to ensure, “Everyone in every neighborhood should have access to healthy, low carb, and gluten-free meals.” LC was featured as a CK alumni guest entrepreneur during the November 16^th CKAA board meeting, and spoke in front of the committee, sharing some of her favorite catered options and discussing the impact Breadless has had on the local community, most recently giving back to Rochester Community Schools.

   

  The mission of Breadless continues on to say, “Our sandwiches, salads, and bowls combine the nutrition of super greens with the flavor of fine dining. Because it shouldn’t matter if you’re gluten-free, vegan, keto, Whole30 TM, or just plain tired of ordering off the menu — everyone deserves to eat good. Breadless is the next best thing to a garden in your backyard.”

   

  With over 10 years of corporate experience, LC is passionate about representation in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), opportunities in the start-up/venture capital arena, community building, and leadership development for women and underrepresented minorities. As a Senior Product Marketing Manager by day for Microsoft, LC continues to make the Cranbrook Kingswood community proud. Be sure to stop by one of the Breadless locations and keep an eye out for new locations opening in the future!

  On November 2^nd members of the Cranbrook Educational Community traveled to Atlanta for a community-wide event at the High Museum of Art. Cranbrook Schools alumni, HUB alumni, Cranbrook Art Academy alumni and CEC friends enjoyed a reception, followed by a private tour of the exhibit Sonya Clark: We Are Each Other. A 1995 Cranbrook Art Academy graduate, Sonya Clark’s exhibit focuses on the artist’s community-centric and participatory projects and is co-organized by the High, the Cranbrook Art Museum in metro Detroit, and the Museum of Arts and Design in New York. If you’re in the Atlanta area, be sure to see the exhibit which is open from now until February 18, 2024.

   

  Following the event, Cranbrook Schools alumni spanning from the 1960s to the 2020s gathered across the street for an Afterglow event. The energy and excitement of growing an Atlanta Cranbrook Regional Alumni Network (CRAN) committee was strong and it won’t be long before another Atlanta CRAN event is added to the calendar!
