Lori Robinson, Editor of B.L.A.C. Detroit Magazine
Former Hood: Born in Washington, D.C., raised in Silver Spring, MD.
Current Hood: Detroit
How long she’s been in the D: 5 years
Lori, on her experiences as a Detroit Transplant:
“[I moved because of] My husband’s job. He teaches at Wayne State. I didn’t know much about Detroit beyond Motown, the auto industry and the negative crime reputation promoted by national media”.
“This city produces an extraordinary number of extremely talented people! Detroiters are strong, resourceful and resilient. One disappointment is the lack of rapid transit. While Detroit has the same problems as other large urban centers, it has so much potential. I’ve learned that it also has a phenomenal history of positive social change and activism”.
On her opportunities:
“I am totally enjoying the opportunity I have to redesign and edit a magazine focused on Detroiters of African descent–our culture, our creativity, our challenges and our strengths”.
Inspiration for others thinking of moving to the D:
“I highly recommend my church, Transforming Love Community. It is a non-traditional, non-denominational spiritual home that welcomes everyone and inspires, motivates and uplifts. I also recommend living in downtown or midtown. After college, I lived in Brooklyn for a while. I love city living, having access to restaurants and shops nearby. We don’t have the mass transit we should yet, but there are some great spots to explore and enjoy downtown”.
