Uniquely Milwaukee

The groundbreaking, arts-loving, emo-listening Miss Wisconsin


Listen Later

Though her intuition was strong, Willow Newell didn’t know she’d be the next Miss Wisconsin. But the 22-year-old says it felt right because she did her best and felt connected to her highest self. Now, the Racine native has won the crown and is the first Black woman to hold the title.

As Miss Wisconsin, her platform is "expression without exclusion." She believes everyone should have access to the arts — a passion that connects her to Radio Milwaukee. Willow is an alum of our youth music program, Grace Weber’s Music Lab, so we had to connect following her recent win.

Grace Weber's Music Lab Program Director Britney "B~Free" Freeman-Farr joins Uniquely Milwaukee host Kim Shine for a great talk with Willow about her new title, her inspirations, her confidence and what comes next.



Episode hosts: Kim Shine and Britney "B~Free" Freeman-Farr
