Random Run In! Not Mine But Pal Larry’s who went to Detroit on business, ran into ‘Oneita Jackson’ at a restaurant there and brought the word back that I needed to have her on my show …because Oneita Jackson IS Detroit! When I read that Oneita ‘cracks herself up’ I knew she was my kinda girl. People on six continents know who she is. She’s a trip, once known for providing the most authentic trips around Detroit. Oneita is the Former Editor of The Detroit Free Press & The O Street Blog, and the author of two books; one about bad customer service and the other about assumptions people make about race. Oneita the writer realized one day that she wanted to meet more people, so she decided to drive a cab in Detroit and provide tours of the city and help people ‘feel’ the city. That’s how Mercedes heard about her, and hired her to wheel around Detroit – Oneita style! “Meeting strangers, making friends and selling books on the run” is one quote from this awesome piece on Oneita written by Heike Kaufhold for She/Mercedes.
Anyone visiting Detroit needs to look up Oneita Jackson. She’s stopped driving a cab so Tune in today at the top of the show to find out where you can find her now!
