NNS Weekly Wrap-Up

When folks ask me how I am doing, I tell them: I’m tired. But inspired.
But the truth is: I always stay inspired.
One reason for this is because of Jonathan Aguilar, our wonderfully talented and creative visual journalist.
Last week, he showcased Milwaukee creatives who give us joy on a daily basis. And then he told us about Nealita Nelson, who after gaining national attention on Fox’s “LEGO Masters” is using her platform to encourage creativity and community among builders of all ages.
There’s so much brilliance in our city. And we are glad to tell you about it.
As always, proceed until apprehended.
