The Detroit Gye Nyame Graduate Chapter of Groove Phi Groove Social Fellowship works to foster academic excellence, strengthen our community, and create positive change across Southeast Michigan.
"Impossible is nothing. Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not your destiny. It is not your limitation."
— Muhammad Ali
What We Do
Our Programs
Detroit Community Safety Initiative
A community-owned data platform driving a 23% drop in reported crime — including a 35% drop in assaults — in Wildemere Park, without surveillance, without facial recognition.
Three buildings on one short stretch of Dexter Avenue — the Cornerstone headquarters at 7504, the CashFlow Quadrant classroom at 7404, and the Groove B&B at 7443 — are becoming permanent, place-based infrastructure for Detroit's West Side.
