Melody is here to let you know what you should be reading, attending or listening to! Jesse will then introduce you to next week's guest, Mélissa Baril. Mélissa is the coordinator for Nous Detroit. We've talked about the Nous Foundation before, so we're excited to talk to Mélissa about the expansion and another journey to the Detroit area.
