Happy Tuesday!!!

You all have been showing so much love and support by donating and helping us reach our goal! 🥰🥰🥰

Love wins…. but first we gotta get these permits. 🏗️👷🏾‍♀️👷🏽‍♂️👷

I do have some big news to share…. we just cleared a major milestone behind the scenes (you’ll see why soon 👀). Every piece is falling into place and honestly?? I can FEEL these doors opening.

Shoutout to everyone who donated or shared the campaign this weekend… y’all did THAT. 🙌🏾 We’re pairing what we’ve raised with capital we already have and we are close.

Here’s the math: $100 from 100 people and we’re in business. Literally!!!

That’s one tank of gas. One dinner out. One decision that helps build something real for an entire community.

Your name will forever be part of the foundation of something beautiful! A space built on good coffee, good people and the kind of energy that makes you not want to leave.

🔗 Link is pinned at the top of my page has more info but placing here too for those who already know the vision for the coffee shop. 👇🏾

Today is World Art Day. What better way to celebrate than highlight the incredible new mural here at the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge (DRIWR). Stop in the John D. Dingell, Jr. Visitor Center Thursdays-Sundays from 10am-4pm to see the mural in-person.

The title of the mural is "Zaagiing" which means “river mouth” in Ojibwe/Ojibwa/Anishinaabemowin. The title is written in Ojibwe syllabics in the lower left corner of the mural.

From May-December 2025, the DRIWR and the International Wildlife Refuge Alliance worked with artist, Hadassah GreenSky. Together and by the hands, hearts, and minds of many, the mural design was developed and connected to public programming here at the Refuge.

The mural was painted by three Waganakising Odawa (Little Traverse Bay Bands) citizens: Hadassah GreenSky, Brooklyn Christie, and Anna Christie.
