Manage episode 455358717 series 2480569
In this episode of the Detroit is Different podcast, host Khary Frazier welcomes Jason Ford, widely known as “Squeeze,” a Saginaw-born and Detroit-rooted writer, poet, actor, performer, and producer whose spoken word artistry and theatrical writing have transformed stages and sparked dialogue across the city. Squeeze reflects on the journey that led him from Eastern Michigan University’s cultural organizing spaces to the heart of Motown’s creative scene, including the honor of becoming a Motown Mic finalist. Along the way, he delves into his book, The Sub American Dream, and previews forthcoming work that continues the series, illuminating the intersections between art, activism, and everyday life. From strolling through Detroit’s Fitzgerald neighborhood and engaging community members on foot, to capturing truth in verse and performance, Squeeze explores how staying visible and present can nurture deeper connections, leaving listeners with inspiration for their own paths of cultural enrichment and community building.
