Music, art, poetry and education are the foundation activities at Sweet Epiphany. Proprietors Karma Qsaay and Jennifer Williams are dedicated to preserving poetry in the city and pouring energy into building a better Detroit. They hope to attract people from all over to experience the innovative side of the city. As part of their positive efforts Karma and Jennifer implemented a project called operation west side clean up. This effort involves removing graffiti from buildings along Seven Mile Rd. and helping businesses attract more customers.

On Saturday October 3rd Troubadour 21 presented Karma and Jennifer with a Community support award that embodied all of their work and commitment to create a better neighborhood. An array of inventive individuals attended the ceremony and performed in support of the occasion. Poets included Ber-Henda Williams, Brook Blander, Zach Ashley, Diane Borsenik, W.B. Burkholder, Carlton Smith, Matvey Troitsky, Karma Qsaay Williams, Jennifer Williams and Bobby. Local artists Adam Klimec and Anthony Callis displayed immaculate paintings at the show. Part of the artistic presentation featured creative nature photography by Courtney McClenahan and beautiful hand-crafted jewelry by Christina Douglas. Friday’s portion of the event featured poets Carla Dodd, Numi Vanner and Dimonique Boyd.

Karma and Jennifer feel that it is important they opened Sweet Epiphany in their neighborhood. They believe in the significance of uplifting and beautifying the areas that surround downtown Detroit.
