Since announcing my candidacy for State Representative, I've knocked on thousands of doors across our district and had hundreds of conversations on doorsteps, at meet and greets, and at events throughout our community.

To learn more about what is important to the voters in the 69th District, I distributed lengthy surveys to voters and received hundreds of responses back. Reading over these has been a very informative experience.

What is the State of Our Black City? What role should Detroit play as a national model for black culture, investment, development, and thought?

Join us in the parlor for a special talk by Chase L. Cantrell, founder of Building Community Value and host of the Urban Consulate in Detroit since 2016.

What does Detroit lose when we prioritize cars over people?

Detroit has a problem: The combination of numerous surface parking lots, and insufficient transportation alternatives, has created a downtown full of holes and gaps that undermine the walkability and density the city needs to compete globally.

Join us in the parlor with urbanist and public policymaker Francis Grunow for a conversation about the REAL costs of parking.

New Thinking on Race

Frank Joyce: White Identity
What it is, where it came from, and what we can do.

How has science been used to benefit certain groups and harm others? What legacy have we inherited as scientists in the twenty-first century? How can we ensure that science is used for the public good, rather than a select group of people? And how can we grapple with the intersection of science and politics?

Black Youth Project 100 (BYP100) Detroit Chapter is inviting you to join us for our this community event and forum which will involve a viewing of Dr. King’s speech and a discussion around these questions: How have our communities in Detroit been displaced by racism, militarism, and materialism? What work is being done now by people and communities in order to resist racism, militarism, and materialism?

See Facebook event above for additional details
