When I first started Challenge Detroit in the fall, I was fortunate to also begin a journey with a transnational healing circle named \u201cDialects of Decolonization\u201d by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.decolonizepr.com\/en\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CEPA<\/a>.

To embody cycles of regrowth in the City\u2019s present is necessary to reimagine its future, and both Dialects and Challenge Detroit affirm my willingness to act on my dreams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does it mean to stand in or center myself in abundance?
