A native of Detroit, Ms. Cain is actively involved in the community and is invited by numerous business, political and community organizations to be involved with their events. She is also sought after as a speaker by numerous community groups. She is again moderating the Michigan Chronicle’s lauded “Pancakes and Politics” breakfast series, now in its third year which features business and community leaders.
