Relationship-centered Brilliant Detroit asks, How can we do better?

"Our country’s educational system was inequitable before, and it still is," says Cindy Eggleton of Brilliant Detroit. "COVID-19 has given us an opportunity to rethink systems, and I’m wondering if we are rethinking enough? As not-for-profits, organizations and people, I take seriously our responsibility to turn this not-so-great thing into an opportunity to look deeply at how systems work in order to better serve kids and families."

We care fiercely. We listen, act, and do the work to help these families. I always say I bring my head, heart, and shoulders into this job because it’s on us.

Brilliant Detroit focuses on staying connected to the families it serves through the pandemic

And importantly, not-for-profits, and Brilliant Detroit in particular, is set up to serve people and build relationships. And for us, relationships have been able to stay at the forefront of what we do, and it is the reason we were able to carry on right now and actually serve people.
