In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Davine Calkins, the founder of The 490 Bakery, and Jazmine, one of her remarkable team members. What started as a chance meeting at the Muskegon Farmers Market—where our booths were neighbors—has grown into a deep friendship rooted in a shared mission of hope, community, and second chances.
Much like crafting cookies one batch at a time, The 490 Bakery helps individuals rebuild their lives through deliberate and meaningful steps. From baking to restoring confidence and creating opportunity, Davine shares how the bakery’s mission brings renewal to Muskegon and beyond. Jazmine courageously tells her story of overcoming unimaginable challenges, including incarceration, and finding purpose through the bakery.
Together, we explore the healing power of food, the strength of community, and how every cookie baked represents a step toward renewal for those facing poverty, addiction, and the challenges of re-entry.
🎧 Tune in for a powerful conversation filled with hope, resilience, and a reminder that transformation happens one batch at a time. Don’t forget to check out The 490 Bakery to support their mission and savor their delicious cookies! 🍪✨
