Ada Nicole Smith is a native Detroiter who has been a part of the Detroit Documenters program since 2019. As a Documenter, she’s been live-tweeting and taking notes of public meetings to make that information readily available for reporters and citizens to access.
Smith says that when she first heard about the program, it felt like a natural fit. “I’m excited about some of the changes that were happening and taking place here in the city. I am a counselor by education, but I have always been very civic-minded,” she says.
