blog was originally called 
Yes/No Films, a platform 
where Parker would give 
movies a review of “yes,” 
“no” or “maybe” rather than 
a star-based review. In 2017, 
she rebranded the blog into 
Yes/No Detroit, covering 
everything from travel to 
food to, of course, movies.
It’s “definitely a lot of local 
readers,” Parker says of the 
blog’s readership. Yet when 
she runs movie giveaways, 
she gets plenty of entries 
from out-of-state readers and 
fans.
“Lifestyle is interesting to 
me because it encompasses 
pretty much anything,” she 
explains. “I still enjoy writ-
ing about entertainment. 
Even though I rebranded my 
blog, I still write some movie 
reviews.”
Luckily, Parker’s work 
offers flexible hours, allowing 
employees to set their own 
work hours. Thanks to this 
opportunity, Parker devotes 
each morning to working on 
her blog before she begins 
her day job.

MAKING WAVES 
IN THE COMMUNITY
A semifinalist for the JN’s 
36 under 36, Parker has also 
made an impact on the local 
community, including Jewish 
individuals. 
 In early 2021, after reading 
a local news article about a 
“Detroit Vaccine Hunters” 
group, she messaged one of 
the founders on Facebook to 
see if she could help.
The mission: booking 

COVID-19 vaccine appoint-
ments for people in need.
“
At the time, appointments 
could only be booked for 
people ages 65 and up, and 
a lot of them weren’t able or 
didn’t know how to use the 
internet,” Parker explains. 
“I helped book vaccine 
appointments for them.”
Helping Metro Detroiters 
get these crucial vaccines 
contributed to a greater 
effort of keeping the com-
munity safe from the virus. 
“It was rewarding to be able 
to book these for people,” 
Parker says, “especially 
during a time when everyone 
was stressed about COVID 
and obtaining the vaccine.”
Parker also recently went 
on a Birthright trip to Israel. 
“It was amazing to see Israel,” 
she recalls. “I had wanted to 
go on Birthright in college, 
but was never able to, so I 
was very glad they extended 
the age range.”
Now, Parker continues 
to work on her two blogs 
and build up their audi-
ences. “I’d love to grow 
my social following a bit 
more,” she says. “I recently 
hit 4,000 Instagram follow-
ers, and I have about 4,350 
on Facebook and 7,900 on 
Twitter.”
She hopes that as the 
pandemic eases, she’ll also 
have more time to contrib-
ute book reviews to Books I 
Think You Should Read, her 
original passion project. 
“I definitely would like to 
start reviewing a bit more on 
my book blog,” Parker says. 

“I POST BOOKS THAT I THINK 
OTHERS WOULD ENJOY OR 

BE INTERESTED IN.”
