it’s a movement. Born in the heart of Michigan, our magazine highlights the stories, talents, and hustle of athletes, creators, and everyday champions from the 517 and beyond. We exist to amplify the voices that often go unheard and to showcase the pride, perseverance, and power within our communities.

From the streets of Lansing to the small towns that give Michigan its soul, we cover real stories that reflect the grind, the glory, and everything in between. Whether it’s on the field, in the gym, or within the neighborhoods shaping the next generation — Pulse of 517 brings it all to light.
