About MyBlackStory.us

In an effort to champion the positive efforts and impact of Milwaukee’s Black leaders, organizers and community members, local firm Render and the Campaign For Black Male Achievement (CBMA) today launched the new interactive site, MyBlackStory.us. Using multi-media to highlight advocates, policymakers and everyday people working to positively transform the city on behalf of its most underserved communities, the platform aims to provide a more positive and nuanced alternative to how Black Milwaukeeans are portrayed in the news and other media, particularly Black males.

Through video, memes and infographics, MyBlackStory.us will showcase the myriad ways that Milwaukee leaders, activists and artists are making positive contributions to their city, and use storytelling to challenge negative narratives often ascribed to Milwaukee. 

Take me to the stories.
