The day after Independence Day, Travis and I went for a walk in Downtown Detroit. I was eight months pregnant at the time and I wanted to take some pictures in the city. It was our first time (since March) being downtown since the pandemic hit.

City walks are one of my favorite things to do, especially if I have the opportunity to take pictures.

Below are a few photographs I took of Black Lives Matter and social justice signs I spotted at a few Detroit businesses.

Hope you have a good weekend! xoxo
