Sundays with Papa. That’s what changed the course of Lauren Tolliver’s athletic career. The St. Mary Catholic Central student grew up as a volleyball player, but started playing golf with her grandfather, Jerry Marcero, the summer before her freshman year. “I learned from my Papa,” Tolliver said. “We would go out every Sunday (to Sandy Creek Golf Course). He was a really big into it. He used to be the manager out there for a long time.” On those lazy Sunday afternoons, Tolliver got to spend quality time with her grandpa and learn about golf. “He taught me lot about the mental part of it – how to be able to stay positive,” she said. “It was really uplifting.” Tolliver put those lessons to good work during her senior season at SMCC. She showed amazing consistency with every 9-hole round between 42 and 46 and all but two 18-hole rounds between 85 and 88. She was the medalist at the Huron League finals, third in her regional and helped the Kestrels win the Monroe County Championship and the Huron League, tie for first in regionals and place 10th in the state.

Why Lake B Everywhere Would Name Woodward After Herself

“If y’all see a lot, buy a lot.” Lake B Everywhere has a word for Detroiters thinking about what they can leave their children. Near Six Mile and I-75, her family rehabbed the house she lives in, giving her a firsthand lesson in what it takes to hold on to land and build something with it. The photographer and podcaster traces her family’s roots from Haywood County, Tennessee, to the Detroit beauty shop where her grandmother met her grandfather, a World War II veteran. She remembers coming home in her Catholic school uniform and feeling like Nia Long in Boyz n the Hood. When COVID interrupted her plan to spotlight Detroit business owners, a former classmate brought her back to interviewing, and a photographer who became her mentor helped her get behind the camera. Her first shoot with that camera was for her son’s ninth birthday. By the time Lake says, “I deserve a street,” you’ll want to hear why she picked Woodward and what she hopes to leave behind.
