Had the chance to stop by the soft opening of and it was so much more than donuts!❤️🥰
It was community.
It was conversation.
It was neighbors, entrepreneurs, dreamers and people investing in a legacy that’s been part of Detroit for generations.
As someone working toward opening I love seeing historic businesses continue to evolve while staying true to who they are.
Congratulations to and Nhu everyone involved. Wishing you full parking lots, long lines, and lots of happy customers. ❤️

Happy Tuesday!!!

You all have been showing so much love and support by donating and helping us reach our goal! 🥰🥰🥰

Love wins…. but first we gotta get these permits. 🏗️👷🏾‍♀️👷🏽‍♂️👷

I do have some big news to share…. we just cleared a major milestone behind the scenes (you’ll see why soon 👀). Every piece is falling into place and honestly?? I can FEEL these doors opening.

Shoutout to everyone who donated or shared the campaign this weekend… y’all did THAT. 🙌🏾 We’re pairing what we’ve raised with capital we already have and we are close.

Here’s the math: $100 from 100 people and we’re in business. Literally!!!

That’s one tank of gas. One dinner out. One decision that helps build something real for an entire community.

Your name will forever be part of the foundation of something beautiful! A space built on good coffee, good people and the kind of energy that makes you not want to leave.

🔗 Link is pinned at the top of my page has more info but placing here too for those who already know the vision for the coffee shop. 👇🏾

There’s something powerful about being seen, welcomed, supported, and believed in… especially while building something from the ground up.

A very special thank you to Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency for sponsoring this membership opportunity. Support like this truly matters for small businesses trying to grow, serve, and create meaningful impact in our communities.

Thank you as well to Ron, Monique, and Kate for your encouragement, inclusion, and belief in both me and this vision. It means more than you know.

Harmon Grounds Café is coming… and I cannot wait to welcome you all into Romulus’ Community Living Room soon. ☕️

We are excited to welcome Harmon Grounds Cafe in City of Romulus, to the SWCRC membership!! Harmon Grounds Cafe is a community experience in the making.

Progress is happening in real time 💛

Harmon Grounds Café – The Cozy Collective is in the final stretch of opening our doors here in Romulus.

What started as a vision rooted in community, culture, and connection is now a physical space—walls up, bar in place and momentum building daily.

We are currently raising the final funds needed to complete equipment, permits, and opening inventory.

This café is being built as a “community living room”—a space where people feel welcomed, seen, and connected.

If you believe in supporting small business, community-centered spaces, and legacy building… we invite you to be part of this journey.

Hi Cozy Collective 🤎

I wanted to share a quick update as we continue moving toward opening Harmon Grounds Café.

Over the past week, there has been real progress behind the scenes, and I’m actively working to close the final gap needed to move forward fully.

Harmon Grounds Café is being created as more than a coffee shop… it’s a space for community, connection and intentional conversation.

More updates coming soon. Thank you for being part of the journey 🤎

Today is World Art Day. What better way to celebrate than highlight the incredible new mural here at the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge (DRIWR). Stop in the John D. Dingell, Jr. Visitor Center Thursdays-Sundays from 10am-4pm to see the mural in-person.

The title of the mural is "Zaagiing" which means “river mouth” in Ojibwe/Ojibwa/Anishinaabemowin. The title is written in Ojibwe syllabics in the lower left corner of the mural.

From May-December 2025, the DRIWR and the International Wildlife Refuge Alliance worked with artist, Hadassah GreenSky. Together and by the hands, hearts, and minds of many, the mural design was developed and connected to public programming here at the Refuge.

The mural was painted by three Waganakising Odawa (Little Traverse Bay Bands) citizens: Hadassah GreenSky, Brooklyn Christie, and Anna Christie.

I’m going to be honest in a way I don’t usually allow myself to be.

I’ve spent years pouring into everyone else… my family, my community, my work while showing up, building, creating, loving hard… even when I was running on empty.

And through all of that, I’ve been holding onto one dream:
☕ opening a coffee shop that feels like home.
A place where people feel seen, safe, and connected.
A place built on love, conversation, and community.

But right now… I’m in a hard place. I’m still paying rent on the space I’ve been working to open, and I’m trying to close a few financial gaps for equipment and final setup so I can move forward.

Life hit in ways I didn’t expect, and I’m trying to keep everything afloat while still fighting for this vision I know is bigger than me. This isn’t just about coffee…it’s about creating something meaningful, something lasting, something that brings people together in a world that feels so disconnected.

So I had to make a decision:
Stay silent and struggle… or be real and ask for help.

I don’t take this lightly at all.

Every contribution…. no matter the size means more to me than I can fully express. I am deeply grateful for any support, encouragement, or share you can give. Thank you for believing in what I’m building.

💛 If you can donate, I’m truly grateful. ( Link in bio)
💛 If you can’t, please share this. It helps more than you know.

Every $1 helps. Every share moves this forward. Every kind word keeps me going.

This is me choosing not to give up.
This is me choosing to believe that something greater is still possible.

Thank you for seeing me. ☕️🤎 ☕️. Wendy
