"I don’t like this expression ‘First World problems.’ It is false and it is condescending. Yes,..."

“I don’t like this expression ‘First World problems.’ It is false and it is condescending. Yes, Nigerians struggle with floods or infant mortality. But these same Nigerians also deal with mundane and seemingly luxurious hassles. Connectivity issues on your BlackBerry, cost of car repair, how to sync your iPad, what brand of noodles to buy: Third World problems. All the silly stuff of life doesn’t disappear just because you’re black and live in a poorer country. People in the richer nations need a more robust sense of the lives being lived in the darker nations. Here’s a First World problem: the inability to see that others are as fully complex and as keen on technology and pleasure as you are.”

“It is expensive to be mediocre in this world. Quality has always been cost effective. The tragic mistake in history that’s always been made by the well-to-do is that they have feathered their own nests. Today we know that society does not survive unless it works for everybody.”

Select photos from the 1st Jane Jacob’s Walk in Detroit. We explored the communities of Sherwood Forest and Green Acres Woodward. I was reminded of the days during undergrad when we just couldn’t take any more of studio and would slip out to explore these neighborhoods. Simply gorgeous and the community members were so gracious and welcoming. I could definitely see us living here one day…
