This month, we sat down with Kyle Smitley, a leader who built her first startup while finishing law school, and for the past ten years has dedicated her career to education as the founder and executive director of Detroit Achievement Academy and Detroit Prep, free public charter schools that have garnered national attention for their holistic approach to student development.
The schools' commitment to closing opportunity gaps has shown up in different ways, like diverting school resources to supporting families with groceries and utilities during the pandemic, investing in teachers' health and wellness, and open-sourcing their operations for others interested in starting schools.
Not one to idle, Smitley has spent her downtime over the last three years building Louis Kitchenware, a community-driven, investor-free cookware company celebrating the everyday, home cook.
