Sarida Scott – Sarida Scott, executive director of the Community Development Advocates of Detroit (CDAD), joins Christy in the studio to talk about the ongoing community conversations that are connecting residents in Islandview and other neighborhoods with Detroit Public Television to tell their stories about Detroit’s future.
