This episode is the first of a 3-part special podcast collaboration series bringing together three platforms that explore culture, community, and the future of our cities while centering voices of the marginalized.

This collaboration series leads up to the 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. Be sure to join us starting on Thursday, April 23 in Detroit, Michigan. For more information on the weekend, follow @aplannerwithapurpose on Tiktok and IG.

The series is a collaboration between The Streets Are Planning Podcast in part 1, Queen Tone for part 2, & Four Degrees to the Streets closing out part 3.
