After arriving in State College in 2017, Keeta Davis felt like there was something missing from the community â âsoul food.â
Keetaâs Kitchen doesnât have a physical restaurant location in State College, but is instead completely run out of Davisâs (junior-hospitality management) apartment.
Davis has continued to run her business through the pandemic while balancing her classwork to bring Black recipes to the community.
âThe motivation came from the lack of soul food for Black people in this area since there wasnât anything for us here,â Davis said. âI always loved food, and the cooking part came after that.â
