I pitched a “Flint in 50 Maps” book, but learned there wasn’t a large enough market for such a publication. Growing up with one foot in Flint, family living across the city, and attending high school in Flint motivated me to dig into a city I felt like I already knew so well, but the Flint Water Crisis changed everything. I started seeing maps left and right of Flint, but they lacked context and the human side of data. People became points on the map disconnected from their histories, stories, and everyday interactions.
