Kait has been passionate about politics and baking for years, starting from when she was a child. The 2000 election was the major catalyst for her seeing inequity and how broken our system is. Kait's work has further radicalized her and cemented her beliefs in social, political, racial, and economic justice and equity. Kait is originally from New Mexico and currently resides in Pittsburgh. When she is not baking, Kait likes to read, be outside, and hang out with her husband and two cats. You can find Kait on instagram at @kait_bakes
