"Autochthonous autodidactic infovore from the Eastside of Detroit, Conant Gardens”

• Autochthonous - He's native to/originating from this place; Detroit Pride from Conant Gardens
• Autodidactic - Self-taught, self-educated through his own drive.
• Infovore - He consumes information voraciously; knowledge is his sustenance.

"My job is to share what's possible, based on what has already happened"

This is a mission stating that he:

1. Studies history, precedent, and what has been accomplished
2. Uses that knowledge to illuminate possibilities for others
3. Grounds future potential in concrete past achievement

This is how he sees his broader purpose in engaging with the world - whether through formal channels like teaching, writing, or community organizing, or through everyday interactions where he shares knowledge and possibility.

Essentially, he's positioning himself as a bridge between past and future - someone who mines history and lived experience to show people what's achievable. He's not speculating about fantasy; he's demonstrating possibility through evidence.

Coming from Conant Gardens specifically (a historically Black middle-class neighborhood in Detroit with its own rich legacy), he's drawing on deep cultural, community, and urban history to help others see pathways forward.
