On the 18th, last Tuesday, Fresh Corner Cafe was riding on the money train!! The fresh Corner Cafe partners (Val, Zack, and Noam), Chris, owner of a start up company and I arrived in Lansing at 1 O’ clock . The team still bled blue in the land of Sparties. The break out sessions did

This entire week was our office’s clean sweep, so you can imagine what my task consisted of. I am a neat freak to put it mildly, so usually I am excited about organizing and cleaning (lame I know). However, I wasn’t prepared for the task that lied ahead. The FOP building is considerably dated and
This week was slightly different than the rest of my weeks at ROC-MI. My supervisor was out of town so I had to fill in for her this week. I led a new member orientation by myself, which was really cool! There is a new member orientation every week and it is most people’s first

On Tuesday, Spivey, Shelby, Alyssa and I accompanied Candice and her cousin to the 5E Hip Hop gallery for an open mic showcase night. Anybody who says Detroit doesn’t have talent is probably the same sort of person who was anti Irish Immigration in the 19th century or who Supported McCarthyism, because, as Spivey says,

June Teenth is the celebration of the emancipation of African Americans. This year, St. John’s Hospital (a partner of Nortown) hosted a health fair along the Connor Creek Greenway with many events and organizations present to raise awareness for the community.

This week has been roller-coaster like in the office. The Green Garden experienced some technical difficulties. Our WiFi completely shut down unexpectedly and due to some weird theories, no one could even turn their computer on for several hours. Fortunately, I was able to get my tasks from my supervisors and work from the dorm.
