Episode Notes

Monica Lewis Patrick’s relationship with Detroit is tied directly to Willie Horton. Horton who is a Detroit Tiger legend one of Baseball’s greatest players is also Monica’s Uncle. Horton welcomed and sent for his family from the South throughout his Detroit journey. Horton’s relationships with Judge Damon Keith, Coleman Young (RIP), and Erma Henderson (RIP) connected Monica and her whole family to a network of Black Excellence and Advocacy that developed the Mecca of the Chocolate City Detroit was in the 70’s and 80’s. Monica’s work in building her family and commitment to education was inspired by these figures. Arriving back to Detroit in the 2000’s sparked Monica’s advocacy. Today her work and lessons from JoAnn Watson, Maureen Taylor, Marian Kramer, and Gloria House are saving the lives of many Detroiters. In the midst of a crisis of Detroit Public School facilities being filled with led contamination Monica and ‘We the People of Detroit’ have solutions. We discuss her work, drive, family, and commitment to advocacy.

This episode: The Hosts of the Unicorns Are Real podcast

Asia Dobbins and Erin Palmore host the Unicorns are Real podcast. Asia & Erin are young artists in love with Detroit artistry. Unicorns Are Real is art. We are two quirky like-minded, yet very different young adult females (Asia aka “Miss Dobbins”/ Erin aka Pineapple or The Quirky Natural) exploring ALL aspects of art. A Unicorn is an artist–a one of a kind individual–with the compassion to create for oneself. We are Unicorns with a passion to construct art that will display our innerselves. Erin is well versed in various art forms such as painting, drawing, and poetry, but she excels in all things digital; her abilities behind the camera and on Adobe software are outstanding. Miss Dobbins is the complete opposite, she has little training in anything technological, but she thrives with a paintbrush and/or piece of charcoal. Miss Dobbins also dabbles in poetry, ink, and film photography. Our conversations will be with some of Detroit and the Metropolitan area’s most poppin’, upcoming, and flyest Unicorns. We want the public to obtain some insight on the life of a Unicorn; various obstacles, mental health, favorite artists, pleasurable segments, and good conversations will be the core of the Unicorns Are Real Podcast.
