It is my hope that we welcome our Afghan brothers and sisters with open arms, in the simple spirit of humanity.

OPINION: We created a support system during the pandemic. And we must keep it going.
We must seize this opportunity and lay the foundations for a better future for those who are here today and for those who follow us tomorrow.
OPINION: Before this summer, I never truly respected the terrifying power of Lake Michigan. Then my 14-year-old great-niece drowned.
I don’t want a drowning to claim the life of someone you love. That’s why I am sharing what I have learned after our family lost Lily.
OPINION: Here’s how Milwaukee can save itself
Don’t start with problems. Start with trust building — a difficult but critical process — and a broadly shared vision of a better future, of peaceful and healthy communities.
OPINION: How 65 hours without power challenged me to imagine life without my usual privileges
I wasn’t my best self during the power outage because I’ve become accustomed to taking care of myself in a certain way. What if my seemingly impaired self during this disruption was my baseline, my normal?
OPINION: When it comes to our education system, it’s time to let young people lead the way
We’ve begun to see a generation being activated, being drawn to utilize their strengths, talents and gifts to organize. To push for change.
OPINION: A shot at normalcy: Why I decided to get the COVID vaccine
If I can do my part to slow down the freight train that is COVID, then I am willing to take one for the team.
OPINION: The pandemic revealed massive inequities in our food system. We are working to rebuild it better.
Our hope for the future is a new environment where food charity work becomes food justice work, transactional exchanges transform into relationships and collaboration makes way for community prosperity.
OPINION: Don’t dilute my work. It’s explicitly Black for a reason.
Programs put into place to help everyone will always ultimately leave room for discrimination against Black people and/or just will plain fail to close the extremely wide gaps that we HAVE to close.
OPINION: ‘Disappointing and enraging’: MPS isn’t doing enough to involve community in spending $506 million
MPS will soon receive $506 million that can change the fabric of our city. While MPS claims to want input from the community on how to spend these dollars, its actions indicate otherwise.
