Last week a <a href='https://outliermedia.org/the-fake-landlord-scam-destroys-lives-in-detroit-but-culprits-rarely-face-consequences/'>story</a> collaboration between NBC News and Outlier Media day-lighted a pervasive issue that a lot of Detroiters know all too well. The scam of fake landlords collecting thousands of dollars from vulnerable residents who think they’re paying the true owner of the property or a legitimate property management company.

Introducing Latisha Johnson - Newly Sworn-in District 4 Council Representative

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!
