Detroit Jane's Walks are walks organized to honor the legacy of Jane Jacobs and to support Detroit communities to host storytelling walks. Live Love Detroit is an informal organization of a few neighbors working to grow the storytelling walks across Detroit. Walks are meant to showcase a side to Detroit that is often missing from the dominant narrative surrounding Detroit. This year 11 walks are being organized. Walks cover all areas of the city.
Our project addresses the challenge of storytelling in Detroit neighborhoods. There are many stories about Detroit that are told in mainstream media. Many of these stories leave out the experiences of Detroiters living in areas outside of a few neighborhoods. We hope to support neighborhoods to reclaim their narratives and tell stories during the Jane's Walks.
