Being a member of Detroit M.A.D.E has enabled me to explore different cultures and serve my community. This summer, I was able to go on a pilot study abroad trip to Canada. There, I was able to learn about Canadian culture, Indigenous history, and the historical experience of Black people in Canada. I was also able to experience current Canadian culture through riding public transportation, visiting public monuments, and visiting a Canadian cemetery.
