This episode is something special! Dayna and Nina sit down with Aris Singleton, CEO of tgin (Thank God It’s Natural). In this intimate conversation set LIVE in Detroit, all three ladies dive into how being from Detroit, specifically the Eastside, has shaped how they have shown up in their respective fields. The ladies catch up, get to know Aris better, and discuss how she remains true to herself, and continues to grow as one of the youngest executives and disruptors in the natural hair care game. Aris takes us through how she ensures she brings Detroit in every room that she enters, all while being a role model for little girls who look up to her. This is a conversation you do not want to miss!

This live podcast taping was a part of A Planner with a Purpose’s activation weekend in Detroit, where planners, creatives, and community leaders will come together to explore how planning, culture, and community storytelling intersect, taking place during the National Planning Conference for the American Planning Association. A Planner with a Purpose is a curated set of experiences designed to support planners and civic leaders navigating an increasingly complex and demanding moment. Grounded in care, clarity, and collective power, the event creates space for honest conversation, practical tools, and connection beyond traditional professional programming.
