The theme for this week in news should be “Detroit wins.”

Yes, the Detroit Tigers may have had a few losses, but this week our readers were interested in the documentary on Flint’s MC Breed and the Bootleg of Dayton Family that won an Emmy. Our readers were also interested in the Detroit pastry chef who won a coveted James Beard Award, and Detroit’s rising rap stars who have scored spots in XXL magazine’s 2022 Freshman Class.
