One of our favorite gigs is for DBusiness Magazine – especially since some of our assignments are not about business per se, but rather about some very creative nonprofits working to make a difference in the Detroit area. That’s how we met Hamsa Yaqo, who is working with her business partner Paul Spiegleman to develop Kintsugi Village.
Housed in an old school building, Kintsugi Village will be a multifacted community resource for Detroit’s Corktown area, and we got a complete tour in June as part of an assignment for DBusiness.
Hamsa’s background is especially interesting since, while she has lived in the Detroit area for many years, she was born in Iraq and emigrated with her family when she was a young girl. For all these reasons, we thought she would be a great guest for this month’s Six Questions with Dan and Michelle.
