The sounds of Trailblazers forging a new path forward…
We welcomed our latest cohort of Trailblazers into our BasBlue community. The Trailblazer residency is designed to eliminate economic barriers for membership. Trailblazers have full access to our membership benefits, programming, mentorship and resources.
Are you a new or current Trailblazer? How has your experience been with us?

Detroit, we’re bringing the crayons and the cocktails 🍹🖍️✨
Join The Coloring Museum at BasBlue for Crayons & Cocktails: Sip, Shade, and Self-Care — a laid-back happy hour where creativity meets community. Come unwind with a cocktail in hand, color alongside fellow creatives, professionals, and dreamers, and collaborate in a space designed for connection and calm.
Because healing doesn’t always have to feel heavy—and coloring definitely isn’t just for kids. 💛
Pull up with your friends, network with new faces, add your touch to our coloring experience, and toast to creativity, self-care, and community.

You don’t know where you’re going unless you know where you came from. 💙
Last week we hosted a Founders Breakfast and it was transformative. The morning was filled with reminiscing, connection, and love. Together with our Founder, CEO, and members, we highlighted our past and present.
We also discussed where we’re going as a community.
As we continue to build it’s important that we create spaces like this. Moments for reflection and recognition.
We’ve accomplished a lot in the last 4 years, but trust us when we say, there’s WAY MORE TO COME. 💙
Join us for our Open House on May 14, and see for yourself all that BasBlue has to offer.

April is Child Abuse Awareness Month. To bring awareness our neighbor Kids-Talk Children’s Advocacy Center partners with community members like us to plant pinwheel gardens. To Kids-Talk, the pinwheel is a sign of happy, healthy, carefree childhood. 💙
As our member and Director of Kids-Talk Melanie Richards says, “Everyone can do SOMETHING, abuse and neglect are not someone else’s problem it’s us as a communities (problem), we can come together and support the children.”

There’s a psychology to money that isn’t discussed enough.

Happy Earth Day 🌱
Today we planted trees with @thegreeningofdetroit on Detroits West Side. It was an amazing to experience what community can do when we come together.
We’re excited to see our 3 tree’s that we named, Bas, Blue & BB grow into strong sustainable members of this community.
How did you spend Earth Day?
It’s time for lunch! 🍽️ So we think you should stop by for Chef Amber’s Steak Frites.
What’s been your favorite lunch item on this menu?
