Malik Kenyatta Yakini is a founder and the Interim Executive Director of the

in Detroit and spearheaded efforts to establish the Detroit Food Policy
Council, which he chairs.

He is an activist and educator dedicated to working to identify and alleviate
the impact of racism and white privilege in the food system. Yakini has an

freedom, justice and equality. He currently serves as a Community Fellow of
the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy Food.
