YOUR PEOPLE. OUR SPACE.
my love letter to the loft
To OUR beautiful loft,
You lived in my dreams and my heart far before I found you. The moment I walked through the doors, I felt you inhale and exhale and I could breathe. From that moment on, I breathed with you. I could immediately envision what you would become and how you would change people’s lives and live in their hearts and minds forever — and that you did my beauty. The art and furniture were meticulously curated in my mind before we even moved in - the day the movers showed up, everything already had a place because I already knew you. You were so much more than a physical space — you allowed people to be themselves, to “dance like no one was watching”, and became a “home” to so many. That feeling of being at “home” is transformative and is truly a vibe that can’t be put into words - it is intangible You gave the community and a powerful group of women a place to discover the strength and power of who they could become — to dream outside the confines of societal norms. You allowed people who hadn’t been to Detroit for decades to re-engage with a city they had forgotten and explore the magic that is Detroit — many who then fell in love with Detroit just as I had so many years before. j’adore Detroit started as an unexpected love story between me and the city of Detroit - a love memorialized inside four walls with panoramic views of all the places near and dear. You inspired creativity, thought, love, music, art, fashion, culture, and light - so much light.
Although a piece of my heart is broken, I will smile knowing that life was better with you in it - not only for me but for so many beautiful souls.
Forever in my mind and heart where you were born. I love you my beauty and will miss you.
xoxo
Candice
