"When you set out to heal the world, you realize that you yourself have healing to do.” In this Detroit is Different episode, Dr. Demarra West, founder of Rest Like a Queen Retreat & Day Retreats in Detroit, shares her journey of self-discovery, purpose, and community impact. Having moved to Detroit just eight months ago, she reflects on how the city called her to do deep healing work, both personally and for others. As a licensed therapist and holistic healer, Demarra unpacks trauma, resilience, and systemic barriers, discussing how poverty and racism block access to true healing.

Of course, no episode is complete without classic Detroit questions—Demarra recalls her first Ford Focus, picks Glorilla and Usher for the Detroit fireworks finale, and says if an alien landed in Detroit, she’d take them straight to the Charles H.

S6E85 -Detroit Land, Detroit Power: Who Really Runs the City? with Anthony Adams 1:21:35

18 days ago1:21:35

1:21:35

"If You Don’t Own Land, You Don’t Own Power." Ownership is the key to generational wealth, but in Detroit, that power is constantly under attack. From over-assessed property taxes to deed fraud and predatory real estate schemes, Black Detroiters are losing land—and with it, the foundation of community stability and wealth-building. In this powerful discussion, Anthony Adams, a legal and political mind with deep experience in city government, breaks down the policies, politics, and legal maneuvers that determine who truly owns Detroit. From the impact of the Land Bank and Community Benefits Agreements to the controversial shifts in Detroit’s tax structure, Adams lays out the real game being played with our neighborhoods. Host Khary Frazier challenges Adams to make sense of how we fight back—whether through land trusts, cooperative economics, or radical restructuring of city policies. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who cares about Detroit’s future and their own financial empowerment. Don’t get caught on the wrong side of the deal—tune in and learn how to protect what’s yours.

S6E84 -Pouring into the Community, Story of Brix Wine & Mikiah Glynn 1:27:13

26 days ago1:27:13

1:27:13

“I believe in my heart and in my core, it’s all because I had to get me together. So this right here, this is what I am on the inside. What you see in here, what you feel when you walk in—this is what I feel on the inside.” In this deeply personal and inspiring episode of Detroit is Different, we sit down with Mikiah Glynn, the visionary owner of Brix Wine, to explore the journey that led her to create one of Detroit’s most inviting and community-centered wine spaces. A third-generation Detroiter with roots stretching back to Alabama and Tennessee, Mikiah grew up in a household of 13 siblings, surrounded by music, community, and entrepreneurship. Watching her mother run a successful daycare business while cooking unforgettable meals for the family, she learned early on that building something of your own requires passion, resilience, and love. Her introduction to wine at age 21 sparked a curiosity that grew into a full-fledged passion, leading her to launch Brix, a place where wine, culture, and community come together. But success didn’t come without setbacks—when the original Brix location closed, it forced Mikiah into a period of deep reflection, healing, and personal growth. Through prayer, meditation, and grief work following the loss of her mother, she emerged stronger, ready to bring Brix 2.0 to life with a renewed vision. Now, she’s not just running a wine bar—she’s building a movement, creating a space where Detroiters can gather, connect, and celebrate their culture over a glass of thoughtfully curated wine. With plans to add a nonprofit component featuring a community garden and farm-to-table programming, Mikiah is proving that wine is more than just a drink—it’s a story, a connection, a legacy. Tune in to hear her candid reflections on entrepreneurship, spirituality, and the power of reinvention, and discover why Brix is more than a business—it’s a love letter to Detroit.

Gale Henderson ’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and deep-rooted community values. A third-generation Detroiter with family ties to Alabama, she grew up on the west side of the city, where her family owned multiple homes and businesses, fostering a strong sense of connection and support. Her journey took her from journalism to corporate communications in the automotive industry, where she learned firsthand the challenges of being a young Black woman in a male-dominated field. “If you incorporate right, you're going to go in there and you're going to be undervalued for sure,” she reflects, emphasizing the importance of mentorship and support in navigating corporate spaces. When she lost her job, she took a bold step into software development through a coding bootcamp, ultimately launching her own digital communications firm. Now, she’s a leader in Detroit’s tech scene, advocating for diversity and teaching coding to youth. Through it all, her foundation has remained unwavering: “I am my sister’s keeper.
