Regina Hall Instagram – This week, my #WCW is Anika Goss-Foster (anik_sg), a #nonprofit leader from Detroit, Michigan. She is the executive director of the Detroit Future City (@detroitfuturecity), a framework for decision making that reflects the best of Detroit’s imagination & innovation to create a more prosperous, connected & sustainable city. A leading force and visionary in Detroit’s revitalization, Anika has repositioned the organization to be laser-focused on the #equitable implementation of its community and economic development and land use and #sustainability priorities. Anika has led the development of several significant research studies, including the 2019 release of “Growing Detroit’s African-American Middle Class” comprehensive data report supporting attraction, retention and growth strategies. She also has helped bolster the future of Detroit’s land use and sustainability through awarding over $330,000 in grants aimed at accelerating vacant land revitalization in #Detroit and developing a dynamic community educational network of nearly 50 neighborhood leaders and nonprofits to develop standardized green stormwater infrastructure practices.
