hermes and hades!

Hermes: Paris!, Venice!, Senegal!

Hades: Hard one, hard one indeed ... Maybe uhm, Fred Hampton -- because come on, radical black activism, black panther party, yes please. Zora Neale Hurston? Their Eyes Were Watching God is one of the most important books to me. F Scott Fitzgerald -- shitty personally or not, that writing of his is gold. Shakespeare! Audre Lorde, W. E. B. DuBois ... the list goes on, really.

artemis, hermes, zeus!

arthemis (favorite animal): CATS. i have two and i love them so much i'm completely obsessed with cats

hermes (where in the world i would most like to visit): wow that's a tough one. probably the mediterranean area? i'm planing on giving myself a cruise there as my 20th birthday present

zeus (if you ruled the world, what would you change): what i wouldn't change is the question i think. i would end economic inequality, any sort systematic oppression, the list goes on and on

:)) Well, I'm from Detroit (ominous distant music begins to play). But I really love my city?

Some of the community organizing that happens in my city is some of the most transformative, revolutionary work  I've ever seen, and had the immense fortune to be a part of.

It's also probably one of the most artistically talented placed I've ever been - some of the stuff created here is absolutely mindblowing.

There are some awfully beautiful neighborhoods and I'm a hard sucker for historic homes.

We're currently being double teamed by two of the most anti-democratic practices we have in our country? An emergency manager and bankruptcy (also the largest city to ever file for bankruptcy.)

There's a feeling of ... hmm ... Detroit has a feeling of a perseverance not grounded in the idea of knuckle-to-pavement hard work, I mean don't get me wrong - we are hard workers, but really I think that my city's sense of perserverance is grounded in an senses of identity and community ...  the idea that as Detroiters, as a majority Black / PoC city, as a city full of rich culture and history, as a city under siege, as a city that served as ground zero for deindustrialization, as a city hurting and loving and thriving - we have a responsibility to each other .. 

And uhm - something light - it's a really really large city. 143 square miles - Depending on where you live - it could take you as much as 30 minutes to get from one side of the city to another - it's pretty intense.
