"Detroit Jazz Fest: Duante Beddingfield Shines, Setting Himself Apart"
Duante Beddingfield, a journalist and arts supporter, shares his experience of being constantly mistaken for Charles Pugh, a disgraced former TV news anchor and ex-Detroit City Council president. Despite facing daily encounters where people confuse him for Pugh, Beddingfield remains actively involved in the Detroit community and is determined to showcase the city's vibrant arts scene and unique culture. As he prepares to emcee at the Detroit Jazz Festival, Beddingfield emphasizes that he is not Pugh and urges people to recognize him for his own accomplishments and contributions.
