    “When there's someone in need, there are those that respond.” – Pamela Good
    Knowledge and education are the roads to self–discovery and understanding a  world beyond. In Detroit the challenge to celebrate the written word and build a new landscape of universal literacy takes many forms… in this chapter seasoned campaigners and visionary youth leaders explore the spaces where they seek to have real impact across the city.
    Featuring the voices of: Pamela Good, Khali Sweeney, Pashon Murray, Elijah Craft, Shanel Adams & Olivia Janise Danielle Wheat. 
    All sound recordings were created in the City of Detroit during the production of the limited edition book i.Detroit – a Human Atlas of an American City, available here. ISBN 978-1-9163668-0-0.

Satori Shakoor of The Secret Society of Twisted Storytellers said the neighborhood she lived in as a kid looked like “a mouth with a lot of teeth missing yet was full of people and life and diversity,” which is a stunning line and a metaphor for this beautiful show.
