How might we utilize the land in the way that is both modular and economically sustainable?
Those words, though contorted, took me and Annie Hakim a whole afternoon to formulate. It was our design question* for our final project as Challenge Detroit Fellows. We knew that it would involve public art because art is what sets […]
For this month’s blog post I wanted to highlight some of the great entrepreneurial resources in the city. So without further adieu:
Techtown is Detroit’s business innovation hub. As the city’s most established business accelerator and incubator, they provide a powerful connection to a broad network of resources, catalyzing entire communities of entrepreneurs best poised to energize the […]
May marks my favorite month of the year and this year’s was one of the best. I was born in May, so I’m biased to favor it, but there was so much celebration this month that sans b-day it would still be spectacular. The festivities started with this:
Hands down my favorite music related event of […]
It’s remarkable how one can leave a place for a while, come back, and have it feel so familiar.
I screen printed a lot in April. It was wonderful and transported me to my ink slinging days before moving to Chicago. Not only did I screen print, but I did it for the people! I spent […]
After keeping my ear on the ground for six months now, the vibrations in Detroit are beginning to make sense. It’s a strange phenomena reading, hearing, and watching so much about what a city is like and then experiencing it firsthand.

Thank goodness February is finally over with. Is it just me or is it always the most wretched month of the year? Other months can be bad or crummy, but “wretched” is a tern reserved for winter’s Stalingrad. I know it’s the shortest month but so help me Churchill, it’s dark.
That being said, there was […]
This past month was great. After settling in from California, I quickly hit the road again to Nashville over MLK weekend where I saw an old friend and amazing live music. Beyond that I’ve had a few other old friends visit from out of town, and it was great to connect with them. Reconnecting with […]
I’ve been in California for about half of December, but I still had a lot of great experiences in Detroit!
I went back to the DSO for Mix @ The Max. It was amazing! I’m really enjoying the programs at the DSO. I highly encourage anyone who hasn’t been to check them out, it’s a real […]
This month’s check in comes a little late, my apologizes!
November was a busy month for me. With the Thanksgiving holiday, I had the opportunity to see family I don’t get to see often. It was great to see them and a reminder to me how cool my cousins are! Having been away for three years, […]
In preparation to write this month’s post, I reread my first one. It’s funny how prophetic I can be sometimes. In there I cited the need to be aware and consistently lean into my direction, least I risk losing sight of what’s important to me. Rather, least I risk having misdirected goals.
On the night of […]
