Bio
I started The Detroit Opportunity Project to capture my thesis research, and to channel my passion for Detroit, equal opportunity and the American Dream. No place on Earth stirs my commitment for social justice and the need for authentic, patient, and tenacious community problem solving quite like Detroit.
