A little less about Detroit and a little more on growing through the Fellowship.
Two years ago I said yes to a year with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps (JVC). One year ago I said yes to a year with Challenge Detroit. June-the month we transition to long summer nights-has long been a month of transitions and […]
For the past couple years, I’ve heard all about Detroit’s energized and passionate Fútbol culture. This May I’ve finally started to immerse myself in the fútbol culture and understand a tiny bit the passion this city has for soccer. May fútbol news in Detroit has been busy.
May has signaled the continued discussions surrounding Dan Gilbert’s […]
Dear finalists,
Congratulations you’ve made it to the final stage-the interview trip. It’s hard to believe that just a year ago, I was in your shoes, anxiously thinking through the leap of faith I was about to embark on. At the time of the trip, I was in the final months of my year of service […]
After sharing with friends that post Paczki Run my mom and I shopped Hamtramck, their reactions mainly included laughing and ‘where is there to shop in Hamtramck?!’.

After finishing off our pączki, we all […]

Whether its because I’m 23 and personally navigating the inflection point that is post college and young adulthood or because the city truly is there, I’ve found myself using this statement often since Challenge Detroit has begun: Detroit is at an inflection point.
Mathematically, an inflection point is defined as […]
As a motorless gal in the Motor City, I appreciated the extended Fall for allowing me to ride my bike well into December. However, after getting caught in the cold rain one too many times, I decided it was time to become better friends with other forms of transit.
With all the construction on Woodward for […]
What do I want for Christmas for Detroit? The Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame to find its own space and home in Detroit. There is no doubt that a huge part of Detroit’s history and future is music-from Blues to R&B to Soul (& specifically Motown) to Rock to Hip Hop and Rap, Detroit […]
The Christmas tree in Campus Martius is lit, the first snow of the season has fallen, small Business Saturday is less than a week away, holiday markets have started, and Santa will be riding through Detroit for America’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Thursday. All these events signal to me that it is time to start baking […]
