Maya-Camille Broussard

Maya-Camille Broussard is the chef-owner of the Chicago-based bakery Justice of the Pies and the star of the Netflix show Bake Squad.  
Justice of the Pies, which specializes in sweet and savory pies, quiches and tarts, was founded in 2014 in memory of her late father, Stephen J. Broussard. Steve was a criminal defense attorney with a deep love for anything made in a crust. Justice of the Pies was created to celebrate his love for pies and to honor his belief that people deserve second chances. Broussard formed the I KNEAD LOVE Workshop, a culinary enrichment program designed to contribute to the fight against food insecurities for youths in grades 5th-8th, residing in lower-income communities that may not have access to healthy food options. Students learn valuable kitchen skills, how to tap into creativity, and the importance of nutrition.  Maya-Camille, who is a member of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community, strives to impact the world in a meaningful and positive way. Maya-Camille is a 2022 James Beard Award finalist for Outstanding Baker.
