“We are in relationship with each other, and the perception of cultural difference is just a perception,” Angelique Power. In this thought-provoking episode of Detroit is Different, Angelique Power, President & CEO of the Skillman Foundation, sits down with Kari Frazier for a deep dive into the evolution of education, community organizing, and the intersection of systems that shape young people’s futures. From her South Side Chicago roots, where activism was as common as dinner table debates, to her commitment to disrupting inequitable structures in Detroit, Angelique shares her journey with wisdom, candor, and a bit of sneak-out-the-house teenage rebellion. They unpack everything from the lasting impact of Harold Washington’s election to the power of youth-led philanthropy and the complex web of Detroit’s school landscape. Check out this episode for an inspiring, critical conversation about education, policy, and the future of Detroit.
