Katrina stated, “I’m very grateful for the help that I have had. I have great mentors that have led me to this phase that I am in my business right now, pushing me to be my best, to work my hardest, to be a dedicated Black business, that has professional service, focusing on customer service, quality, and professionalism.”
In recalling her starlit catering experiences, Katrina noted that she worked with rap artists Offset, Soulja Boy and Korrupt. K Michelle Kitchen Catering has been spotted at numerous cooperate events and in the church circuit.

Taste of Soul was a very great experience for us—we’ve done larger events but not to the size of Taste of Soul, so it was great to be out there and know that we gotten a hang of doing the larger pop-ups,” said Katrina.
