Built a neighborhood bakery from a home kitchen
Maya Okonkwo · 34 · Oakland, CA
“I didn't quit my job to start a bakery. I started a bakery until it made quitting obvious.”
In short
Started selling sourdough to neighbors on Sunday mornings and ended up with a 900 sq ft storefront and four employees.
Hardest part
Signing a five-year lease before I felt ready.
