to hear from Devita, because food justice is something I\u2019m really interested in but is not the focus of my placement. \u00a0Devita was really inspiring and I liked how she spoke about the importance of us coming back and working in Detroit in the future. \u00a0So many of my friends talk about graduating and moving away to work in Chicago or New York but Devita reminded us that there are so many great job opportunities in Detroit and that we really consider coming back home to work in the city post grad. \u00a0I also found Devita\u2019s comments about food deserts and food swamps
