I\u2019m very excited but also nervous about what this weekend might bring. On Friday, we will start with our banned LGBTQ+ book festival and a candlelight vigil to honor our ancestors. Then this Saturday is our HIV testing event at Palmer Park, followed by the main event concert with Big Freedia and a few other Detroit native artists. Lastly, the festivities will end with a church service on Sunday and a community brunch. Based on what my mentor shared with me, the concert is going to be very hectic, fast-paced, and fun, most importantly. This will be my first time working at an event like this, where I will be backstage with the production crew and capturing all the moments of the audience. Apparently, I may even be on stage for a few brief moments to properly film the crowd. The venue is pretty large, so I can only imagine what the space will look like filled with people. I\u2019m looking forward to being able to provide updates and pictures in my next post. Wish me luck!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border wp-duotone-unset-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"18379\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/dcerp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/63\/2023\/07\/IMG_1155-1-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18379\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;border-radius:79px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/dcerp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/63\/2023\/07\/IMG_1155-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/dcerp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/63\/2023\/07\/IMG_1155-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/dcerp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/63\/2023\/07\/IMG_1155-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/dcerp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/63\/2023\/07\/IMG_1155-1-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/dcerp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/63\/2023\/07\/IMG_1155-1-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Venue picture!
