Last night I attended my first pottery class at Pewabic and it was a wonderfully entertaining experience that I highly recommend. Pewabic is Detroit born and Detroit made and their studio is located on East Jefferson near the villages.

During our last Challenge I had the opportunity to serve on the marketing team for COTS (Coalition of Temporary Shelter). We worked on creating a marketing strategy and video to help strengthen their online presence. During this time, as a cohort, we also volunteered and organized a storage room at COTS. Check out this video highlighting […]

Like many Detroiters and Metro Detroiters, I’ve visited the show throughout my life and in my younger years it was something I looked forward going to every January with my dad.

The home that he built in Southwest Detroit stands today and for me remains a reminder of my family’s roots here in the city. I am proud to have roots in Southwest Detroit and I hope […]
