Throughout the month of June, The Neighborhoods will be featuring stories from queer residents across the city. Today, we’re talking to Shauntelle from Blackstone Park about coming out of the closet, being proud, and mending familial relationships.

“I came out almost three years ago. Being a queer woman of color has allowed me to understand who I am better, and more self-love. I think before I discovered that piece of me, I was still in search of who I was. 

The GOAL Line will be having its first enrollment fair for Detroit parents interested in getting their kids on a new bus loop serving 10 schools this fall.

A new bus loop serving 10 schools in Northwest Detroit debuts this fall, giving parents in several west side neighborhoods the option to allow their children to be picked up at a school nearest to their house and be dropped off at the school they attend and an after-school program on the loop if they choose.

At The Neighborhoods, we’re interested in hearing from everybody in Detroit about what matters most to you.
