It’s Wesume Season!

It’s the time of the Challenge Fellowship which is full of plenty concerns of the future.  A couple of questions come to my mind:

Do I stay in Detroit?
Where will I live when my lease ends?
Do I stay with my host company?

Any answer to number three means… it’s officially resume season.  A thoroughly rough […]

a call to action

Immigrant Entrepreneurs are my heroes. Not only are they going out and making their dreams come true, which is something I even struggle with, they are doing it in a language and a country that is foreign to them. Upon reflection of calling over 14 Website Developer Companies around Detroit, three companies had employees who […]

This weekend I sat down with a woman named AISHA BLAKE who has been a part of a COUCH SURFING community.  This is the style of living where you travel to different cities around the globe and stay on their couches until you move onto the next, […]

A modern take on historic drinking holes. A symbol of something from nothingness. A natural drive toward water. A place to make a wish (even if you really aren’t supposed to). A place for a first kiss or wedding photo. A fountain.

Whatever the drive may be, the Scott Fountain is a Belle Isle landmark that […]

Impossible Times

The reality was that it […]

Food is good, food is wonderful. Warm up your belly and heart in Detroit with four of my favorite […]

#MapDetroit: New Years

New years resolution? Explore more. I’m slowly narrowing down areas around Detroit. The wild and elusive ways that people named these neighborhoods sparked my interest.  We know as people move into Detroit they start ‘revitalizing’ certain areas around Detroit.  And sometimes that means renaming places that have held a name for years prior.  Such as […]

#BlogDetroit: On the streets where they lived

Two immigrants came together after fleeing from Europe in a time of war.  One was settled near Indian Village on the other side of Van Dyke Street in a house with a cement porch.   She came from Germany with her little brother and parents. Her name was Anna and one night she went dancing at a […]

#BlogDetroit: Rethink and Consider

Going through school, I studied product design.  I learned the ways to manipulate an object in order to change a person’s behavior.  Interaction changed with the slightest curve and in many ways and it provided too much power to designers.  We learned things to include and exclude certain behaviors such as which way to hold a […]
