Tell us about your host company and your role in the organization.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Detroit Horse Power works to empower youth in our Detroit community through the power of horses and Social-Emotional growth. I have been the Program Manager at DHP for two years. I develop curriculum, foster community partner and barn partner relationships, plan and facilitate all of our year round youth programming.<\/p>\n

Tell us about the challenge project you\u2019re currently working on; what are you learning from the experience?<\/strong>
\nWe are currently assisting Detroit Phoenix Center in creating a youth driven podcast. I am learning about DPC (who is DHP\u2019s neighbor at Marygrove!), and the immensely important work they do with Detroit youth. I am also learning more about their future goals, and am excited to see them grow!<\/p>\n

How do you hope to impact the community as a Fellow?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Listening, learning, and knowing when to step up and step back is a key skill I want to bring when I interact with my community. I hope to leave space for others, and to continue to learn from others. I want to be tuned in, to grow in my grass roots knowledge and involvement. I also want to come out of this fellowship as a better leader and team member to collaborate with Detroiters. The way I am growing through Challenge will deepen and enhance the impact I can have on the community. Learning WITH my community, bringing people on the journey to a more social-emotionally attuned collective of neighbors.<\/div>\n

Since becoming a Fellow, what is something new that you have learned?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have done elements of the design thinking process before joining Challenge, without fully understanding each step. Now that I am four projects in, I can say I am well versed in the design thinking process.<\/p>\n

How do you believe your fellowship will shape your career moving forward?<\/strong>
\nChallenge Detroit has given me the hands-on experience and connections to support me as I grow in my field. The opportunities I have had to practice have been a valuable piece of this process that will share my career and leadership going forward.<\/p>\n

Challenge Detroit shared this image with the fellows when we were learning about DEI. I brought this image back to my staff and students to help them better understand the difference between equity and equality (Click to enlarge).<\/p><\/div>\n

If someone is reading this and considering applying to be a Fellow, why would you encourage them to apply?<\/strong>
\nThe Challenge Detroit team and program structure is very intentional and about connecting fellows to opportunities. Opportunities to grow as a professional, leader, team player, Community member, networking skills, confidence, and design thinking. Fellows grow personally and professionally and get the chance to go on that journey with a cohort of other driven community members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
