ACT TWO: Peeling Back the Layers of Poverty, Homelessness, and Motherhood

In this episode, Michaela steps into the courtyard of Peggy's Place — COTS's emergency shelter on Detroit's west side. What unfolds is an intimate portrait of caregivers navigating homelessness and generational poverty, told through art and honest conversations. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to challenge what they think they know about homelessness — and who gets to tell that story.

ACT THREE: Uprooting Poverty Narratives Through the Power of Family

In this episode, Michaela returns to COTS — this time at the Peterboro Arms Apartments, a dignified affordable housing community in Detroit's Midtown. With collage materials in hand, she facilitates a workshop that invites residents and staff to examine the narratives they've inherited about poverty — and imagine new ones. Through intimate conversations, this episode asks: what becomes possible when a community decides to rewrite its story together? This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to challenge the narratives that keep cycles of poverty in place — and find hope in the power of family, chosen or blood, to change them.

ACT ONE: A Creative Collaboration and the Month of Imagination

In this episode of Black Her Stories, Michaela shares the story of a creative collaboration with COTS Detroit, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting families experiencing homelessness. Through conversations with COTS leaders, we explore their radical practice of the Month of Imagination—a full month devoted to rest, reflection, and dreaming beyond limits. Together, we uncover how imagination fuels transformation, how collaboration builds community, and how rest itself becomes a form of resistance. Tune in for a story about creativity, care, and the courage to reimagine what's possible when we pause to dream.
