Restaurants often struggle in their first three years, but Yum Village, a fusion of African and Caribbean cuisine founded by Godwin Ihentuge, opened its doors on Woodward Avenue during the challenges of COVID-19. This venture was the realization of Godwin's life vision, rooted in his upbringing on Detroit's Westside as the eldest son in a Nigerian family. Once an introvert, Godwin developed a skill set in empathetic listening that has been key to building a strong team. Yum Village, which began as a smartphone app, has evolved into a full cultural experience, blending food with fashion and more. This Detroit is Different feature explores how defining and committing to a vision can lead to extraordinary growth. Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

Craig speaks with two restauranteurs, Stephanie Byrd of The Block in Midtown Detroit, and Godwin Ihentuge of Yum Village in Detroit's New Center neighborhood.   The two discuss the difficulties of the past year, as restaurants were uniquely hard hit during the pandemic.  Now, it looks like most of the restrictions on indoor dining could be removed by July first.  What did they learn about their businesses over the last year, and how are they preparing for the return of customers?  Also, which practices from the COVID protocols might stick around for good?  

Welp. Operation LeGend, the Trump administration’s name for sending federal troops to cities to impose law and order that aren’t asking for any help, will come to Detroit after all. Sometime in the next three weeks, the latest news has it, heavily armed, camouflaged federal troops will descend on the Motor City. Recall that yesterday, Mayor Mike Duggan and Police Chief James Craig said basically, “Yeah, no thanks, we got this.” Should be fun.

This as the city’s police commissioner decries that “crime is out of control,” after a shooting at a large gathering in Warren, though he also said crime wasn’t that bad in the inner-ring ‘burb. Got that? Also: Detroit City Councilman Gabe Leland is expected to plead guilty to corruption charges, per the Freep. That would require him to abandon his seat.

This is a story about 5 friends who came together to make a difference in their community. In March, as the impact of COVID-19 was disrupting life in Detroit, Melanie D'Evelyn, Godwin Ihentuge, Jeremy Lewis, Shelley Danner, and Sarah Craft jumped on a Zoom call to brainstorm ideas on how to support black and brown-owned businesses and how to help those most vulnerable in the city. Within days, they founded "Pay It Forward: Power a Business & Feed the Homeless," a crowdfunding campaign with Patronicity to support Detroit restaurants owned and run by people of color by paying them to cater meals to homeless shelters in the city. With an original goal to raise $10,000, news of the group's intentions and the impact on both small businesses and people in need spread and they exceeded that goal in a matter of days. The group increased their goal as more donations came in and were able to raise more than $52,000 from an astounding 546 donors. This provided more than 7 weeks of daily meals to 4 homeless shelters, and helped keep more than 10 restaurants in business. These are the restaurants and owners that were part of the program.
