Compelled by the urgency of a more equitable future, Joanna Dueweke-Perez thrives on “making things work.” Programs, community organizing, a neighborhood business, events, websites, her family’s schedule – no matter what the project might be, she’s invested in the logistics of it all. When she’s not planning or creating flowcharts and spreadsheets, she’s reading a whole bunch, learning from her community, or paddleboarding on the Detroit River.
