“My journey of becoming who and what I am required a recipe; sustaining growing pains, experiencing the good, the bad and the ugly. It also requires fixing one’s mess; your inner self- release negativity, hurt and the unfairness that you will go through only sours your attitude, drains your energy, and limits your creativity."

It's been “a never ending uphill battle” to bring more businesses to the village and sustain the ones it has.

“Many people live in Lansing but don’t participate in community events. I want to reach those that are not engaged,” said Micaela Smith, candidate for Trustee. Smith wants to see equitable representation because some things are a bit divided. She wants to see more multicultural engagement in business and in the community.
