While you’re “giving thanks” for the good things happening in your life, don’t forget to thank yourself.
SOMEBODY had to hang in there and guess who that was?
YOU.
Help me spread the word. Detroit Sip -- a Black female-owned coffee shop located on McNichols off of Livernois -- recently reopened after being closed for more than a year during the pandemic. #SupportBlackBusiness
My generation says “No worries” instead of “you’re welcome” to 1) show that doing a favor for someone doesn’t need to be a transactional thing and that we’re happy to help, and 2) because if they really knew how worried we actually were, they’d never ever talk to us again ever.
@soswingsshe My mom just said to me about my office job selling produce, "Girl, no one is going to die!!!!!" A good perspective for us office folk to keep when it feels overwhelming!!!
That, or local media (and funders, and...) pick an anointed favorite and use that as the token representation of all Black Detroiters. There was a time when you would've thought Torya Blanchard was the first and only Black person to open a biz in the city https://t.co/Wafs7cbArb
@aaronkfoley I wish the industry wasn’t so insulated. another new American small plates concept with craft cocktails and elevated bar snacks, prob.
Det has some of the best food and chefs in the country (dying on this hill) and it’s interesting who keeps getting opportunities to expand.
Hi. So fun fact: non-profits are NOT community. They may have community members involved with their operations but ultimately they are beholden to their funders, part of a capitalist/colonial/imperialist system, and usually serve a counter-insurgent or de-radicalizing purpose.
Gemini moons: hey sorry I’m running just a couple hours behind!!! also can we meet somewhere else?? Also I hope it’s cool w you I invited some other people!! Okay see you soon bby!! xxxxxx
if you are a #Detroit resident and are pissed about the recent flooding, get involved in how American Rescue Plan Act funding is being prioritized. @MayorMikeDuggan is rushing the vote before sufficient input has been gathered. don't allow the neighborhoods be passed up! pls RT!
