BridgeDetroit reporters Olivia Lewis and Louis Aguilar joined Donna and Orlando for a discussion of stories they authored last week after the 2020 Census results found that the population in Detroit is still on the decline.  Louis wrote a timeline of major events within the last decade that could help put in perspective why population in Detroit continues to decline.  Olivia wrote a story that amplified some Black Detroiters resolve to stay in Detroit despite inequitable growth in neighborhoods and the heart of the city.  Orlando and Donna also introduced a new segment entitled, &quot;Hot Takes&quot; Listen in and let us know what you think.

Introducing the Stoudamire Wellness Hub with Darryl Earl

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!
