Friends,

10 months ago I published a Challenge Detroit blog post outlining the social media challenge, an opportunity to blow up my following with happenings in the D. I realized quickly that the value exceeded the fun of over-hastagging in that I created a trail of gluten free breadcrumbs that chronicles my first year in the Motor City. My digital footprint brings me to a host of new friends, old friends turned Detroit advocates, participation in and spectation of highly competitive sport, personal and professional travel, booming startup culture, tons of pretty coffee, and lots and lots of food.

I know mi gente all over the world are sick of hearing me say it, but it’s impossible to not acknowledge Detroit as one of the most exciting places to be as an ambitious youngster. A visual learner? Follow one of my accounts above.

That’s all folks.
