In this powerful episode, Teig Whaley-Smith, chief alliance executive of the Community Development Alliance (CDA), unveils his mission to advance racial equity by providing quality, affordable homeownership for Black and Latino Milwaukeeans. Join us as we delve into his data-driven approach and collaborative strategies that are reshaping the city's housing landscape.Whaley-Smith's passion for making Milwaukee the best place on planet earth stems from his upbringing in a multiracial family and sense of urgency around fighting for housing issues out of what he calls “love, and not white guilt.”Tune in to learn more about how the CDA is uniting diverse stakeholders, combating predatory landlord practices and empowering homebuyers with down payment assistance.Episode Highlights:10:19 - What's really important in a planning process is that you do talk to people to get their stories as a form of data and that qualitative data, and then also matching that with the quantitative data that is out there. So, we use a process called GARE, the Government Alliance on Race and Equity to develop our plan, and they have a tool that prompts you to ask some really important questions because the reality is there's no such thing as a racially neutral policy.14:29 - There was a sense that we should be building 1500-square foot homes because that's what's being built in the suburbs and otherwise. If you actually talked with residents, they just want a stable place to live that they can call their own. It turns out that the average home in city in Milwaukee is a thousand square feet. If we continue to develop strategies that are building houses that are too big and too expensive, we will never have an impact on racial equity. 23:22 - In the racial equity world, those terms actually mean something different because an ally is somebody that supports you and supports your ideas in theory, as long as it doesn't cost them anything. An accomplice is when you are willing to put something on the line to say, "I'm willing to give something up to do something that you've asked me to do."Connect with Becky Dubin JenkinsLinkedInConnect with Teig Whaley-SmithLinkedInGuest Bio:Teig Whaley-Smith's spassion is building and leading collaborative teams to make Milwaukee the best place on planet earth.

This episode features Maureen Ragalie and Darius Smith from gener8tor's Milwaukee office. Gener8tor is a nationally-ranked venture capital firm and accelerator that brings together startup founders, investors, corporations, job seekers, universities, musicians and artists. Recently, they have teamed up with Sherman Phoenix, a marketplace and mixed used business space on Milwaukee's northside in the Sherman Park neighborhood, to offer grants for Milwaukee visual artists. In the conversation, Ragalie and Smith discuss the scope of the program. Beginning with a user-friendly application process that is designed to attract artists who may not have much in the way of formal professional experience, but display talent and vision, as well as an appetite for developing "the business side” of their art practice. Up to 20 artists will be selected by a panel of art world experts from outside of Milwaukee. The program will take place over seven weeks in-person and over Zoom beginning this spring, and will offer workshops, mentorships and resources to help individuals learn how to professionalize their artistic practices. The curriculum includes everything from marketing for artists, how to make a budget, learning about and how to decide if you should form an LLC— and even includes access to a therapist. Applications for the program are open to anyone in Milwaukee over the age of 18. Smith and Ragalie hope that the impact of this program and these investments ($7,000-$10,000 per artist) will be felt on both the individual and the community level, and that a positive effect will ripple out into the community, and help contribute to more vibrancy in the neighborhoods in which these artists live and work – and within Milwaukee as a whole. Another hope is to garner positive attention both within Milwaukee – and outside the region –for the artistry that is being created here—and to encourage future investment in the arts in Milwaukee and Wisconsin. Through this program, they also seek to show artists that they can continue to live and work in Milwaukee — and in doing so, encourage retention of our city's creatives. The application is due February 26, and the first gener8tor x Sherman Phoenix accelerator cohort will begin on April 10. Follow gener8torart on Instagram.

Regina musician Nick Faye has found a quiet spot in Les Sherman Park where he likes to enjoy nature and listen to his demos.

There were a number of demonstrations in the Milwaukee area this weekend to protest the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, and to stand in solidarity with civil rights marchers around the world. One of the events was a show of love and support for Milwaukee’s youth. The “Young, Gifted & Black” rally in Sherman Park celebrated 2020 graduates and black excellence. Two teenagers who helped organize the event for the Urban Underground are 17-year-old Eric Patrick Lucas III and 18-year-old Jonathan Rogers, a recent high school grad. They arrived early at Parklawn Assembly of God Sunday afternoon — where the march to the Sherman Phoenix would begin. As cars whizzed by on Sherman Boulevard, Rogers explained why he and Lucas have gotten involved in protesting systemic racism and violence by police: "To be heard, to get our point across. We want to send a message to everybody, you know, about how police are doing us wrong, how we get treated wrong, [by] police, non

If you live in Milwaukee, or just love the city and all of the great work happening here, how many times have you thought to yourself “I wish our news media would cover more than just the latest shooting…” Perhaps you stay away from downtown Milwaukee because you see violence on the news each morning. Or, maybe you decided not to send your children to Milwaukee Public Schools because of stories you’ve read in the paper. If you recognize yourself in these descriptions, you should add Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service (NNS) to your daily routine. Milwaukee NNS prides itself on offering a balanced view of Milwaukee’s neighborhoods by speaking with residents about all of the issues that face the community, with a focus on new initiatives and programs being implemented, and community successes. Today on Living Local, we talk with Edgar Mendez, Beat Reporter for the Milwaukee NNS. Edgar lives on the South Side and covers stories all around the city, talking to residents about the latest education initiatives and other big issues like the recent unrest in Sherman Park and the City’s response to high lead levels in our water.

Milwaukee has been called one of the most segregated cities in America, and one of the worst places for black people to live and raise their families. With this in mind, today's Beats Me question put me in the position to try and offer some insight into this question: What's the cultural experience for being black and male in Milwaukee? Of course, there isn't one black experience. So, I sat down with four black males of different ages and professions to discuss the topic. I talked to a high school senior, a medical student, an ACLU organizer, and the executive director of the Near West Side Partners. Beats Me: What Questions Do You Have For WUWM's Beat Reporters? Keith Stanley is a third-generation Sherman Park resident and executive director of the Near West Side Partners .

Liz Sumner, a candidate for the 23rd Wisconsin Assembly District in 2018, is a Fox Point resident, small business owner, wife and mother of two small children.  Liz was born and raised in Milwaukee, spending her first years in the Sherman Park neighborhood before moving to Shorewood, where she attended Shorewood public schools and graduated from Shorewood High School.  Liz was lucky enough to spend two years abroad, one with her family during her sophomore year of high school in Utrecht, The Netherlands, and the other in Paris for her junior year of college.  After graduating from Marquette University with a BA in Political Science and French, she moved to Seattle where she explored the beautiful outdoors of the Pacific Northwest and fostered her love of fashion and retail.  Three years later, Liz returned to the Midwest, spending eight years in Chicago where she developed her management skills working for home furnishings retailer Z Gallerie and at The Boeing Stores, the retail marketing division of The Boeing Company.  In 2006, Liz graduated with an MBA from the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago with concentrations in Strategy and Finance. After graduation, Liz moved home to Milwaukee to open SHOP, a women’s clothing and accessories boutique, with her business partner mom.  For the past 10 years, they have worked tirelessly to see their business, and other local businesses, succeed.  To that end, Liz served on the Shorewood Business Improvement District Board for 6 years where she helped steer marketing for the district and create successful events that brought people to the Village to eat, shop and explore.    Liz and her husband Nathaniel, also a small business owner, married in 2010 and purchased their home in Fox Point two years later.  Together they are raising their two small children, who will both be in the public school system next year and attending religious school at Congregation Shalom, where they are members.  In 2015, Liz was elected trustee to the Fox Point Village Board and was recently re-elected in the 2018 Spring elections. In the interview Liz mentions candidate training programs provided by Wisconsin Progress, Emerge, and Emily's List

In this episode, Washington Bureau Chief Craig Gilbert gives an update on the recent President Trump approval ratings (Hint: They're low.) He also talks about Trump's decision to appoint Milwaukee attorney Michael Brennan to the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. Also, the 2018 race for Tammy Baldwin's seat is already underway. We look at who is hoping to take her on. State taxpayers would need about 25 years to recoup the nearly $3 billion in proposed payments to bring Foxconn to southeastern Wisconsin.

Back in February, Milwaukee Record's very own Tyler Maas and Josh Hoppert set out on a strange and delightful mission: to use a leap day to visit, and eat at, every George Webb restaurant on planet Earth. That mission would eventually span 29 Webb locations, 23 hours, $226.61 (not including gas or tip), and over 600 miles traveled. Now, nearly a year later, Milwaukee is the proud owner of a new Webb restaurant. Located on Fond du Lac Avenue in the city's Sherman Park neighborhood, the new diner is notable for two reasons: one, because of its location, which was the site of much controversy over the summer, and two, because it makes Tyler and Josh's previous mission sorely incomplete. But never fear, because the two intrepid heroes (and Matt Wild) recently visited the new Webb location, and came back with this thrilling and informative podcast.

On August 13th , all eyes turned to Milwaukee’s Sherman Park neighborhood . Protesters jumped on police cars and set buildings on fire, outraged over the police shooting of Sylville Smith. Vaun Mayes-Bey and a group of organizers had been in the area all summer, long before the news crews came. Vaun works with Program the Parks to provide activities and food to the teenagers who congregate in Sherman Park, outside of the Boys & Girls Club. Vaun says the work they’re doing is not only fun for the teens, it’s also making the park safer and keeping kids out of the grip of law enforcement. But after the unrest, a 6 pm park curfew made it harder to do their job.

The shooting death of 23-year-old Seville Smith by Milwaukee Police Officer Dominique Heaggan-Brown lead to two nights of violent unrest in the Sherman Park neighborhood.

We also discuss a Citizen Action revelation that Governor Walker's jobs agency misrepresented job creation in Sherman Park. The panel bats around news that Johnson Controls shareholders approved the company's merger with Tyco International enabling them to dodge $150 million in U.S. taxes and dole out lavish gold parachutes to top executives on our dime. Finally, we dig into the shocking news that one of the nation's largest health insurance corporations is pulling out of ObamaCare in retaliation for the Obama Administration's move to block a proposed mega merger.

Fordham theology professor Bryan Massingale, STD, one of the world’s leading Catholic social ethicists and scholars of African-American theological ethics, racial justice, and liberation theology, wasn’t just a resident of Milwaukee when he taught at Marquette University—he grew up there, too.

We caught up with Father Massingale as he was preparing to begin teaching this fall, to get his take on growing up in the “Selma of the North,” one of the most racially segregated U.S. cities.
