Political Campaigning in Michigan

Spending a week in Michigan door knocking for Kamala was fantastic! Rhea and I volunteered at 4 offices: Detroit, Southfield, Ann Arbor and Saginaw. It was political tourism at its best. We knocked on 409 doors and got to meet lots of people, hear about local issues and explore the state. We also got to meet lots of other energetic volunteers. Michiganders are friendly and willing to talk no matter what side they were on.

A few pictures to show the experience

Dabls Mbad African Bead Museum - A Detroit Creative Treasure

Detroit always has sweet little surprises. Today I visited Dabls Mbad African Bead Museum and got a chance to the artist who has spent years creating the art and selling LOTS of beads from around the world.

The story is 23 years ago Olayami Dabls came to the corner of Grand River and West Grand Blvd with a vision to create a space for his community to understand the immense power of their African heritage.

Occupying almost an entire city block, the Dabls Mbad African Bead Museum houses 18 outdoor installations as well as the African Bead Gallery, N'kisi House and African Language Wall.

It all was WOW!
