As mentioned in today's Shannon's Scoop, Usher is in Detroit for back-to-back shows, but that's not all!

Usher, the renowned R&B superstar, has been busy on tour, and there's a good chance he's in Detroit as we speak. The city is buzzing with excitement as fans prepare for his back-to-back shows.

But it's not just about the music. Usher’s visit to Detroit has a greater purpose—he’s actively supporting the Boys and Girls Club, a cause close to his heart. Having been involved with the organization as a kid, Usher is using his platform to address a critical issue: the need for expanded after-school programs, especially for Black youth in underserved communities.

As part of a national campaign, Usher will speak at the Boys and Girls Club of Southeastern Michigan's After School Expo, where nearly a thousand youth will have the chance to explore careers in technology, fashion, entertainment, music, and healthcare. The event promises to be both educational and inspiring, with Usher sharing his own after-school story. The kids, and probably their parents, are sure to be thrilled by his appearance.
