Today is our last day of Challenge Detroit and as I sit at TechTown I can’t help but feel really excited for the current, past and future fellows.
When you ask a fellow, “so how is Challenge Detroit?” you will often hear, “Challenge is what you make of it.” I believe that the same can be […]
We all worry about failure and handle it differently. We’re all constantly thinking about what we have to do in order to avoid it, arguing with ourselves to make sure we’re doing what must be done in order to succeed. I’ve spent the past year talking about setting goals and staying positive all while planning and executing, but what […]
Just like with school, jobs and relationships, once something ends you soon realize that something better is coming along.
With Challenge Detroit coming to a close many of us are wondering what our next steps are. Luckily for me I have my next steps lined up for the next year, sort of, if all goes well!
Our last Challenge […]
I seem to have taken these Challenge focused blogs as my personal ones. Sorry for all the self-help post, but I’ve basically become a self-help guru who wouldn’t be where she’s at today if it wasn’t for it.

P.S If you want to enjoy these places as a Challenge Detroit fellow […]
Oh, what a year it has been already!
Remember how I said it’s important to dream? Well, don’t just dream, put those dreams down on paper! I believe that vision boards are very helpful tools for making your dreams become a reality.
Take mine for example:
Some things I envision for myself this year are: a puppy best […]
Have you ever stopped to reflect and envision where you’d like to be 10 years from now?
At our latest Challenge Friday we participated in a future visioning activity that gave me the chills. We were asked to take some time and think about what our upcoming year would be like, and where we would end […]
Volunteering in Detroit has always been a huge part of my life. Actually, trying to find a nonprofit that I’ve had nothing to do with before was kinda difficult. Trying to fit our volunteer hours into my month was going to be a task on its own as well. Luckily, I was reminded about the […]
My love for community started when I was in the 5th grade. I attended an awesome middle school, Our Lady of Guadalupe Middle School, which shut down in Southwest Detroit some years back.
