On this episode of Daily Detroit, we welcome Orlando Bailey. He's a community organizer, Emmy-award winning journalist, Executive Director of Outlier Media and co-host of the Authentically Detroit podcast.

He joins Jer and Norris Howard for an insightful conversation about the future of Detroit. As the city stands on the edge of major political and social changes, we talk with Orlando on the upcoming transitions in leadership, the impact of federal resources, and the evolving landscape of the city and its suburbs.

We dive into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, including the importance of organizing and community engagement in shaping the city's future. Orlando talks about the need for leaders who can navigate these changes with a focus on love for the people and a strong policy agenda for both the city and the region.

The conversation also touches on the cultural and economic shifts within Detroit, the issue of black flight to the suburbs, and the necessity of addressing hard infrastructure and service challenges.

We consider how Detroit can maintain its unique identity while embracing growth and diversity.
