August is Black Business Month!
Throughout the month, we’re highlighting just a few of the incredible Black-owned businesses making an impact in our community and that you should be checking out all year long.
This week, we’re spotlighting Muse GR, Isaac V. Norris & Associates P.C, Southern Smoke, and Sparkle and Shine Cleaning!
Supporting Black-owned businesses means supporting our neighbors, local entrepreneurs, and the people who help make our community stronger.
Black businesses traditionally have less access to capital and are investing in parts of town that have been underinvested in by local government. They do the hard work of serving communities that are often overlooked. This is why Black Business Month is so important and why going out of our way to support Black owned businesses matters all year long!
We know this is just a small sample of the incredible businesses we have here in GR. Who are your picks? Drop your favorites in the comments and let us know who else we should be checking out and highlighting! 👇🏾

Women’s Equality Day is a reminder of how hard women had to fight for the right to vote—and how hard some are still working to take that right away today.
The 19th Amendment was the result of generations of women organizing, marching, speaking up, and refusing to accept that their voices didn’t belong in our democracy. And while it expanded the right to vote, we know that many women, especially Black women, continued fighting for decades to have that right fully recognized.
I don’t take that history lightly. I’m here because women before me kept pushing open doors, even when they weren’t opened for them.
Today, we honor them by continuing the work—protecting the right to vote, making sure every voice is heard, and building a future where every woman has the opportunity to lead.
Happy Women’s Equality Day!

Back in session!
I’ve been home for a few weeks and in that time Governor Whitmer came by to sign housing legislation, I’ve toured local businesses, met with constituents, and hosted coffee hours and Sunday dinner among other things. It’s been a blast!
But it feels good to be back on the House floor and I’m ready to keep showing up for District 82! We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us.
Let’s get to work!

Yesterday I voted for the MI Money Out of Politics initiative to go to the ballot and in front of voters.
It’s important to me that you all understand why I voted no and what that means in action!

Veterans Day is a big deal in District 82!
As we prepare for our 2026 celebration of local veterans we want to extend an invite to you.
I want to hear about the veterans who are part of your life and our District 82 community. Do you have a veteran in your life you’d like to honor?
We would love an opportunity to thank the incredible men and women who have served our country and recognize the sacrifices they and their families have made. 🇺🇸
Share their name and story with us using the link in my bio by September 15th. We will honor them with a special state tribute at our annual Veterans Day Breakfast.
To all of our veterans: thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and all you have given to our country and our communities. ❤️🤍💙

ICYMI the federal government is trying to take your right to choose away AGAIN!
I joined colleagues last week to speak out against federal efforts to roll back cleaner vehicle standards and limit the purchasing choices for American families.
Michiganders deserve the freedom to choose how they drive, without being tied to rising gas prices or policies that stand in the way of innovation. Whether it’s gas, hybrid, or electric, we should be advancing technology, expanding options, and making it more affordable to get where you need to go.
Michigan is the state that put America on wheels — and we should continue leading the way forward. 🚗
We have always been a state that builds and innovates. Let’s keep it that way. 💙
