Betty Chavis spent years as a star recruiter for Michigan Technological University. If young people of color were to find their way far North to Houghton, MI, they needed someone to trust. Michigan Tech turned to Ms. Chavis, a Detroit native who grew up exploring all of her curiosities. An early career in dance led to sharing the stage with the best as in Katherine Dunham. Then Ms. Chavis formed her own company, performed for legends and opened her own charm center for Motown's finest. Detroit and its suburbs were her playground, and her heartbreak. Hosts Nicole Franklin and Bryant Monteilh enjoy a wonderful hour of stories--especially a most surprising scenario with an inebriated Queen of Soul. Ms. Chavis, who still drives her red Mustang convertible is charting her course for her next adventure. Join us!
