At the 2024 event, Detroit Free Press writer Georgea Kovanis captivated crowds with Amanda's tale. She tracked Amanda's fight against addiction while helping others in need.
The night sparked with varied tales. Laura Weber Davis from Michigan Radio dug into Detroit's pizza scene. Metro Times' Steve Neavling uncovered truths about city firefighters through months of research. Writer Khan Santori Davison broke down the city's hip hop impact.
Two major backers support the 2025 show: the Knight Foundation and Detroit Opera. The team at Back Pocket Presents still seeks extra funding partners for October.
