East Pole Town to many Detroit residents is Chene, over there by the old Packard Plant, or Tyree Guyton’s artistic footprint. For the families that live in the community, it is a place with rooted traditions. Jasmine Noble taught at the James and Grace Lee Boggs School and had the plan to connect the school to the community. Jasmine was in love with the Boggs approach of collective learning, leadership, and community. ComeUnity was founded in 2009 and served the Romulus community. In 2013 when Jasmine joined Boggs. She was inspired to find a school that cared about the community as she was. As she began working in the community where Boggs started, the non-profit partnered with the school. I envisioned the headquarters being in that community and as time continued, joined with others who were doing aligned work, Freedom Dreams.
