In this episode of Black Her Stories, Michaela shares the story of a creative collaboration with COTS Detroit, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting families experiencing homelessness.

Through conversations with COTS leaders, we explore their radical practice of the Month of Imagination—a full month devoted to rest, reflection, and dreaming beyond limits.

Together, we uncover how imagination fuels transformation, how collaboration builds community, and how rest itself becomes a form of resistance.

Tune in for a story about creativity, care, and the courage to reimagine what's possible when we pause to dream.
