Summary

Bridgett Davis grew up in Detroit in the 60s in a house that can only be described as magical. Her mother ran the numbers, and underground lottery system, who allowed her to provide her family more than most jobs were paying African Americans at the time. But her mother Fannie Davis, did more than just provide material things, she provided a strength and instilled a confidence in her children that showed them that no one is better than them, and they do not have to apologize for being themselves, having nice things, or her numbers. Follow Bridgett on instagram @bridgett_d and get her book "The World According To Fannie Davis: My Mother's Life In The Detroit Numbers."
