This year has been a packed. From conferences to panels to presentations. From neighborhoods to downtown to Eastern Market. There are many things that Detroit has to offer. So much so, that I’ve decided to narrow my favorites down to three main points.
1. The People – The week before moving to Detroit, I was very […]
As the Fellowship is nearing the end, it has become more real to me how important my present and future connections with people are. From day one, Challenge Detroit has opened doors to many opportunities allowing us fellows to meet very prominent individuals within the Detroit community.

Once December 14, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. appeared, I knew I was finally free. Free from classes, teachers, grades, and anything related to education. After enduring an extra semester as a fifth year senior, I was so excited to be graduating. A year later, I am living in Detroit and working in marketing. Ironically, one […]
