I applied for a second year extension or fellowship for my contract & it was rejected.
I honestly did not want to complete a second year. I desire deeply to travel and dedicate some time to self discovery. Since I planted my feet in Detroit, I have been searching for creating some stability.
Spending a great deal of my life attempting to prove that I am"real adult" led to me sacrificing a lot enjoyable moments like deepening my friendships, creating artwork, discovery of self and relaxing.
It's also been a difficult year facing hard decision making, a failed relationship and moving back into family's home.
I desire so badly to renew my spirit.
A fresh start on perspective of the world and life.
It's essential to keeping my sanity at this point!
A couple nights before receiving my rejection letter, I created a Master Plan for a documentary about transformative leadership: community organizers, gathering spaces, cross cultural programs that uplifting communities. It's my love offering to my city. We often hear narratives about a broken Detroit. However, there's a big story that isn't being told.
I am sure across the nation there are more communities like Southwest, North Rosedale and Core City that enriching the experience of residents. I am sure of it!
So....
I am losing my damn mind and LAUNCH a crowdfunding site to support my next step.
