Thanks for the AMA, I've always wanted to ask something of someone with a large amount of money:

Is it really about WHO you know as opposed to how hard you work in life?

My mother was born and raised in Detroit, and while I was born there I was not raised there. She has taken me through areas of Detroit where she grew up and I felt rather out of place, not afraid for my life, but feeling like I stuck out like a sore thumb.

Were there areas in Detroit where you felt comfortable, or alternatively areas where you felt that your life was in danger?

Sounds right to me! My mother always felt at home and comfortable in Detroit, though that's because she grew up there (off of 8 mile). I never felt in danger but certainly out of place.

My mother took me to an area of Detroit that was dubbed Mexicantown, I loved it there! I still felt like I stood out among the crowd, but that never bothered me, I'd go back in a heartbeat.
