"I became Facebook friends with Shaka Senghor in August 2014. I believe he had posted a request for recommendations of good community-minded females or something to that effect. Well, the names went to spewing. As the names were listed, he sent friend requests. Friending him was a blessing I did not recognize at the time."

Capital often refers to money, but it can also be used to refer to everything your business owns and uses to function (e.g., equipment, vehicles, buildings, land, etc.). It can be used as equity or loans from outsiders for financing. It can also be represented as retained earnings in an organization's balance sheet. In essence, capital is anything that can be transformed into cash within a reasonable period of time with reasonable effort by way of sale.

After 30 years of robust Detroit-centered and nationally recognized visual arts programming, The Carr Center’s family of visual artists is vast, diverse, and exceedingly talented.

It is only fitting that the “home for the Arts in Detroit” calls on its family to celebrate not only the accomplishment of 30 years of excellence but the accomplishments of those who have made those 30 years excellent.

The July 13th exhibition is part 1 of a 2 – part series, curated by Lina Stephens and continues through September 10th.

Have you ever wondered how you can become more active in city government? There are plenty of opportunities for you that do not involve running for elected office. Detroit has 503 voting precincts and 134 absentee counting boards. During an election, each of these precincts and boards requires a staff of paid precinct inspectors to assist voters as they arrive at the polls on Election Day.

B2B is short for business-to-business and describes a business transaction with another business. It is a term used to describe transactions between businesses. Despite the fact that B2B is not as well known as other types of business transactions, it still accounts for a substantial share of commercial activity and may soon be more important than retail.

It is one of the most important things we can do with our lives, to make someone feel something. When someone leaves our presence we want them to feel something and take it inside themselves where they can carry it with them forever.

Paula Hawkins has caused some buzz so far this year with her thriller/mystery The Girl on the Train, which is being touted as the British Gone Girl. The comparisons to Gone Girl are apt, mostly because of the use of three narrators (though GG only had two), all of whom present as unreliable witnesses to the story, which is always an interesting construction.

Contrary to popular belief, millennials are gradually succumbing to the siren’s call of home ownership. And why not? Mortgage rates are still at historic lows, home prices are inching up, and job growth is steady. Meanwhile, rents are rising. As my daughter put it, “I want something to show for all those checks I am writing.”

I believe that success is often a result of consistency and persistence. It's not always about being "good" or "great" at something, but instead, it's about putting out the work and maintaining focus on what it is you want to achieve. If you work hard and stay focused, then you will eventually reach the heights of greatness.

Center for Retirement Studies* made me sit up and take notice. It found that the median savings for people in their sixties, including equity in their homes, was $172,000. That seems like a lot of money until you divide it by the 20 years that most are likely to live beyond retirement. That calculates to $8600 per year, hardly enough to supplement the $17,000 per year from social security that the average retiree is likely to get, and way, way below what most will need to cover expenses in their retirement.
