<p>This week we were joined by Michigan State Representative Sherry Gay-Dagnogo to talk about her visit to the White House to hand deliver a letter requesting President Trump to pardon former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick who is currently serving out a 28-year sentence in federal prison. We even asked her about her plans to &quot;maybe&quot; run for Mayor of Detroit. We were also joined by ECN staff members Angela Wilson and Dillon Brown to talk about their work to ensure everyone on the Eastside is counted in the 2020 Census! </p>

Food Equity in Detroit w/Ederique Goudia, Rafa Wright, & Kwaku Osei-Bonsu

Authentically Detroit is hosted by Donna Givens and Orlando Bailey and is powered by Eastside Community Network, a 35-year-old not-for-profit community development organization that serves the Lower Eastside of the city. We are inviting you into our space of constant intergenerational discussion, male and female perspective and a critical take on the happenings in the city of Detroit. Our shows will be thematic in that each show will take a comprehensive look at things like housing in Detroit, spatial racism, economic development, neighborhood planning, self-care, community trauma and more. Not only will we tackle these topics head on, we’ll also bring in expert guests to help us out! We don’t want to have these conversations in a vacuum either so we are encouraging you to participate. Find us on Instagram and Facebook @ Authentically Detroit Podcast and be a part of the conversation!
