Detroiter in my heart (but not currently under my feet).
Sometimes DJ
Sometimes executive
Sometimes writer
Always concerned about the human condition
One of my favorite categories of videos online is people visiting Detroit for the first time and realizing that not all narratives are told accurately. People get to the city and realize they haven’t heard the whole truth and have been denied a gem of a place and some of the best people. 💙

The world is, well...

...but I just met with my playwriting professor about a play I am writing, and the notes made me want to write more, dig further, and cry over my laptop into the night and that makes me happy.

I was just in a Barnes & Noble this week, and I deeply appreciated it while also being saddened by the necessity of this display.

I think everyone’s day would be made better if you listened to the children of The Bay singing "Rock Steady" by Detroit’s own Aretha Franklin. Their little voices singing out so joyfully made my night!

I had to move on from watching the game to catch another moment of Detroit’s spirit and legacy!

I remain so proud of the work produced by @outliermedia.org. I see the value statement reflected in the work, "a vision of a liberated city with healthy civic infrastructure rooted in Detroiters’ participation and self-determination."
