Why Lake B Everywhere Would Name Woodward After Herself

“If y’all see a lot, buy a lot.” Lake B Everywhere has a word for Detroiters thinking about what they can leave their children. Near Six Mile and I-75, her family rehabbed the house she lives in, giving her a firsthand lesson in what it takes to hold on to land and build something with it. The photographer and podcaster traces her family’s roots from Haywood County, Tennessee, to the Detroit beauty shop where her grandmother met her grandfather, a World War II veteran. She remembers coming home in her Catholic school uniform and feeling like Nia Long in Boyz n the Hood. When COVID interrupted her plan to spotlight Detroit business owners, a former classmate brought her back to interviewing, and a photographer who became her mentor helped her get behind the camera. Her first shoot with that camera was for her son’s ninth birthday. By the time Lake says, “I deserve a street,” you’ll want to hear why she picked Woodward and what she hopes to leave behind.
