On today's Stateside, host April Baer spoke with Kristen and Jeff Roberts of the Miles Jeffrey Roberts Foundation. The group supports teen athletes who are struggling with mental health.
Then, we took a trip to multi-disciplinary artist Tiff Massey's studio in Detroit to hear about her practice and her upcoming solo exhibit at the DIA.
Concluding the show, we spoke with a "MexiRican Grand Rapidian" whose new book chronicles the history of the growing Spanish speaking communities that have made West Michigan their home for generations.
