Untold Detroit: The Hustle
All episodes available now!
After our first podcast season, Untold Detroit: Beer, we're back to dive into a new topic. Listen as entrepreneurs, developers, and community members explore the tradition of Black entrepreneurship in Detroit and how it continues today.
Untold Detroit: The Hustle focuses on the long tradition of entrepreneurship in Detroit’s Black community and how the Black economy has evolved in the face of deindustrialization, white flight, and economic hardship since the 1960s. It sheds insight into Detroit’s tumultuous times through interviews with community elders and business leaders like Akosua Barthwell Evans, CEO of the Barthwell Group, Ederique Goudia, owner of In the Business of Food, and A Nzere Kwabena, executive director of LGBT Detroit.
Untold Detroit: The Hustle is supported by Bank of America, produced by the Detroit Historical Society, and hosted by Taylor Claybrook.
