Introducing Me

I am excited for the journey to the place many are terrified of. The place that people in my hometown call the ghetto, oblivious of the beautifully kept communities of Detroit.


I am confident in saying I've gotten the best of both worlds. I was born in Detroit, raised here in Michigan, and I am proud to be a part of the metro Detroit area. Born in Detroit and raised in the Farmington Hills which is 20 minutes outside of the city,and allowed me to view life through many kaleidoscopes.

Having family in the city kept me intertwined in the city wheel. Although I laid my head in Farmington Hills most nights, my family ties were there, so so was I. The culture of this place is amazing. The stories behind how she has flourished, struggled, changed, risen up, and crumbled, speak for themselves. Detroit is here to stay.

I think metro Detroit is a huge player in the growth of our country and the automotive industry. As we have watched the United States struggle through a decline in automotive demand so has our city, so has our state. This is my first opportunity to construct a blog. Although it is a requirement I think it's an excellent one. My METROBLOG is going to focus on things metro Detroit.

It will be an honest look at everything that either made up Detroit at one point in history, to what is keeping the pulse of the city so hard to feel. I hope to embody the essence of Detroit with a bit of punch. Detroit shan't take a TKO without a deafening fight.
