Detroit City FC player voted most valuable by the coaches, owners, and supporters. The award is named after Jamaican immigrant, Detroit native, and soccer pioneer Gil Heron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gil Heron was known for his blazing speed and was regularly called offside because officials could not believe his speed. Earning him the nickname &#8220;The Black Arrow.&#8221; As a member of the 1946 Detroit Wolverines, Heron led the North American Soccer Football League in goals. He would go on to become the first black player for the legendary Scottish Club, Celtic. After several years playing in England, he came home to play for the Detroit Corinthians. His son was the poet\/musician Gil Scott-Heron. The elder Gil passed away in Detroit in 2008 at the age of 86.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-theme-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d20a00d827c2ae054fc0c71f1328eb31\" id=\"partnerships-and-initiatives\"><span class=\"ghostkit-text-uppercase\">Meet our 2025 Community  Spotlight<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4843\" height=\"4843\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/detcityfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/02\/DSCF2004-1-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12640\" style=\"width:277px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/detcityfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/02\/DSCF2004-1-edited.jpg 4843w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/detcityfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/02\/DSCF2004-1-edited.jpg?resize=150,150 150w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/detcityfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/02\/DSCF2004-1-edited.jpg?resize=300,300 300w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/detcityfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/02\/DSCF2004-1-edited.jpg?resize=768,768 768w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/detcityfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/02\/DSCF2004-1-edited.jpg?resize=1024,1024 1024w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/detcityfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/02\/DSCF2004-1-edited.jpg?resize=1536,1536 1536w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/detcityfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/02\/DSCF2004-1-edited.jpg?resize=2048,2048 2048w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/detcityfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/02\/DSCF2004-1-edited.jpg?resize=75,75 75w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/detcityfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/02\/DSCF2004-1-edited.jpg?resize=90,90 90w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/detcityfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/02\/DSCF2004-1-edited.jpg?resize=80,80 80w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/detcityfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/02\/DSCF2004-1-edited.jpg?resize=512,512 512w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/detcityfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/02\/DSCF2004-1-edited.jpg?resize=195,195 195w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/detcityfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/02\/DSCF2004-1-edited.jpg?resize=390,390 390w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/detcityfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/02\/DSCF2004-1-edited.jpg?resize=97,97 97w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/detcityfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/02\/DSCF2004-1-edited.jpg?resize=1440,1440 1440w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/detcityfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/02\/DSCF2004-1-edited.jpg?resize=720,720 720w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/detcityfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/02\/DSCF2004-1-edited.jpg?resize=600,600 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4843px) 100vw, 4843px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left ghostkit-custom-2s2jmC wp-block-paragraph\">Andrey Douthard, Owner of <a href=\"https:\/\/paramitasound.com\/\">Paramita<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the month of February, our Community Programs Manager, Maxwell Murray will be speaking with trailblazers who breathe life into Detroit. The first conversation is with Andrey Douthard, the owner of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paramitasound\/?hl=en\">@paramitasound<\/a>, a thriving bar in the downtown area that has cultivated a space for our city\u2019s Black, Brown, and Queer folk to gather around their shared love of music. Read along as we explore topics such as the true meaning of community, how Paramita has evolved since its birth, intergenerational influence, and how DCFC can grow its impact in Black communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI guess with the work that I do at Paramita, the easiest way to describe it is it&#8217;s like bridge building, and we use music as a vehicle to build bridges between generations. That&#8217;s one of the special parts about our music community here. To connect younger generations to older generations, I&#8217;m 38 &#8211; so I kind of live in the middle of multiple generations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons
