“Community is people watching your rhythm” – Satori Shakoor

Detroit: A city of deep history, a people driven by resilience and hustle – experience the city through the diverse voices of its people, understand and immerse yourself in the city's personality through the purpose–driven narratives shared by Detroiters.

Featuring the voices of: Satori Shakoor, Giizhigad/Christy Bieber, Adnan Charara, Suzy Villarreal-Garza & Kirk Mayes.
