365 Amplified

We're back! On the podcast today, we catch up on the week's news, including a couple candidate profiles (election is tomorrow!) and stories on a Black-owned coworking space in Milwaukee and a new platform to connect women of color in business.

Rob and Steph are still on vacation, so today we're bringing you a special episode of Black Oxygen, featuring Angela's mother and grandfather.

Brenda Moten moved to Wisconsin several years ago to be closer  to her family.  Her journey of living in the Midwest began when she moved from Shrevport, LA to Peoria, IL.  She recently visited her 96 year old father back in Shrevport.  This episode features a conversation with Brenda and her father Esther Monroe. They discuss their life journeys, progress on race relations in the United States, and offers wisdom on having a life well lived.

Rob and Steph are on vacation, so we're showcasing a recent episode of Real Talk with Henry Sanders.

On this episode, Henry Sanders talks to UW-Green Bay Director of Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs Office Mai Lo Lee. They talk about how she has come to be accepted and trusted in a variety of communities, how she thinks of her legacy, and the importance of consistently showing up.

Rob and Steph are off today, so we're bringing you a special episode from the Black Oxygen Feed. 

Oby Nwabuzor: Real estate, health and social equity

In 2019, Oby Nwabuzor created and founded Envision Growth, a Milwaukee-based real estate development firm focused on creating a positive community impact through urban regeneration. In addition to running Envision Growth, she is currently pursuing her DrPH with a focus on the intersection of economic inclusion, real estate and health & social equity, AND she’s the Director of DEI at Landmark Credit Union. 

In this episode of Black Oxygen, Oby discusses her Wisconsin journey, how purpose keeps her in Wisconsin, and how her life as an entrepreneur started with a candy shop in her locker in middle school.  Because this season is all about beauty, she also discusses the role of complexion and beauty standards.  She reminds us that, “black beauty is more than just physical … it’s our culture.”
