March went something like this:

  • March 1: I attend Dawn Seekers an event hosted every few months by Triumph Church. Dawn Seekers is a women-only gospel event that attracts guests from all over the state!It began bright and early at 6am and ended around 8am. Marvin Sapp was our special musical guest and his performance was awesome! If you ever have the opportunity to attend I suggest that you GO!
  • March 2: I participated in this years Fight for Air Climb. This event takes place in efforts to battle and bring awareness to those fighting and affected by lung cancer. Fellow fellow Miguel and I raced to the top of 75 flights of stairs in the RenCen located in downtown Detroit. I discovered I am not in as good of shape as I thought, however, it was an amazing experience and I am happy to said I did make it to the top.
  • March 5: A number of Fellows and I participated in Partner Mornings with Corner Stone Charter Schools. Through this program we get to go into classrooms and interact with elementary school children. The kids were so excited and it was so inspiring to give something back to the future of Detroit.
  • March 13: I was able to attend an event entitled Be Healthier Detroit. This event featured different members from RunThisTown, Come Play Detroit and a number of other initiatives taking place in the city all aimed at making Detroit a healthier place. This event was held at Bamboo an amazing co-working space downtown and catered by social sushi (really good sushi!!!!)
  •  March 27: Happy Hour! I  was hosted along with my fellows (and many other fellows making a difference in the city) by PWC at Firebird Tavern where we got a chance to hear from some amazing leaders in the city of Detroit and made a number of new friends.
  • Lastly this month I got to attend the MEDC LiveWork Detroit Dinner held at the Garden Theatre. This dinner included a panel featuring one of our fellows (Shivani Naik) and a few other representatives of programs aimed at revitalizing and changing the perception of Detroit. The food and company was amazing!

That’s all for now! Thanks for reading!
