As I\u2019ve been getting used to \u201cliving\u201d here, I\u2019ve just observed is just people going about living their lives. I don\u2019t know a lot about nonprofits in general, so everything is learning. We use a lot of platforms that I don\u2019t have experience with and think are confusing. I\u2019ve noticed some tension in my organization around funding. It\u2019s brought up that, with non-profits, there\u2019s almost always a funding issue, which is so frustrating given the nature of the work. In general, my workplace is really collaborative. For example, before every workshop we do with students, we set “norms” as a group: making sure that everyone is on the same page about how we will act during the workshop to respect each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve met some great people at my internship and DCBRP, but not really anyone outside of those bubbles. And that\u2019s fine, but I want to get out and explore more, to take advantage of the summer. I feel like many of my cohort-mates feel the same way, like we look for fun things to do and we know it\u2019s out there, but we don\u2019t really know where and end up doing the same things every weekend. It\u2019s also an issue of transportation if I want to go somewhere last minute or want to go alone. It\u2019s hard to get outside of the Midtown (cough *Cass Corridor*)\/ Downtown bubble. Still, we\u2019ve had fun getting to know each other. For example, last Friday we went to Belle Isle (pictured below). There\u2019s a nice view of the city, and it\u2019s very relaxing.\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve realized, through what I\u2019ve heard and read, and especially with the film we watched on Tuesday (\u201cThe End of Chinatown\u201d) that most of what we\u2019re experiencing in Detroit is manufactured. The film discussed the destruction of neighborhoods in Detroit, and how everything is changing right now for a certain kind of upper-class person. Everything is being torn down and rebuilt. As I get to know the area, things like the Little Caesars Arena are part of the landscape of Detroit that I have saved in my head, and that\u2019s brand new, an arena that took out the apartment buildings and stores and the neighborhood that once occupied that area. So that’s something that I really should stay mindful of.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
