Creative’s Making Impact By Lifting Other Creatives w/ The Creative Collab | Bronzeville Artist-in-Residency Mentor Program

[A mentoring-focused Artist-in-Residency program that connects youth with a professional creative]

Creativity is best cultivated through collaboration. However, opportunities for creative collaboration can be sparse depending on age, locality, and personal network. Statistically, we know that “28% of surveyed Milwaukee-based creatives are strongly considering relocating to another city due to a lack of creative opportunities, jobs, and support here” [Imagine MKE, 2023]. Retention of talent [cultivated locally] will always be a problem unless we address it intentionally, constantly, & economically supported.

Under the leadership of Jazale’s Art Studio, Vedales Art Studio [Vedale Hill], and /CW Creative Studios + Shop [Owned by CopyWrite, Magazine, Media & Design, Lexi S. Brunson] we have cultivated the collaborative means to propel many creative career paths while navigating Milwaukee’s economic & opportunity disparities in the creative sector. From fine arts to media, fashion to performance, and all the intersectional practices of creative entrepreneurship in between, we have found a methodology that can help creatives excel in their personal and professional goals.

Today, we launch THE CREATIVE COLLAB | BRONZEVILLE ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCY MENTOR PROGRAM is a mentoring-focused Artist-in-Residency program that connects youth with a professional creative. Each youth participant will have access to mentors across the creative spectrum in their area of interest. Participants will be immersed in a diverse creative environment, where they will witness everyday practices of creative professionalism, methods of creative production, problem-solving, the proper methods of documentation, and how best to utilize their specific skill sets. This program will provide mentors & mentees stipends to emphasize the value of creative practice while navigating the economic necessities of a quality & sustainable practice.

“We have to understand that creative success directly correlates with access to resources & a creative network. A big piece of that narrative is funding.  An artist should no longer be asked to starve. I know I don’t starve well! If we can help young creatives understand their value to society, while giving them the professional tools to navigate this industry, then as a community we all will reap the reward”, said Vedale Hill. 

“Collectively, we have sat in rooms that have had the social capital and funding force that could fortify the creative industry in Milwaukee. However, time & time again, some people refuse to educate themselves on how creative talent enhances a communities cultural identity, promotes economic growth, and improves overall quality of life. If we take creatives out of the equation, there is no success in any industry. We want the next generation to have better opportunities than we have. So here we are attempting to do the right thing for all the right reasons. We hope that our community can support that in an active way”. - noted Lexi S. Brunson.

A Stage for Life: A Unique Collaboration Between Versiti Blood Center and Milwaukee Ballet: Where Art Represents The Community’s Heart

/

It’s often assumed that basketball games, open houses, and theatrical school productions are the nights that fill schools from top to bottom; however, donation events are the true cool kidz. According to the Pew Research Center, over 500,000 children participate and lead these informative, interactive and unifying events. The block parties, bake sales, and scholastic book fairs financially uplift the half-empty pockets of education systems, but a greater reward is gifted to all of the Whoopi Goldberg classrooms around the universe in the franchise movie, Sister Act [The kiddos}. Heart, soul, and kindness that lasts more than a week before their birthdays. As youngins, a broken record becomes the headshot of our audio library, spewing out the following constantly: 

Sharing is caring 

Treat others how you want to be treated 

If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all 

Authoritative figures surrounding kids, such as encouraging teachers, relatable coaches, and proud parents, become the ocean they absorb like sponges ready to tackle the next clean-up. Although the phrases are constantly demonstrated to us and sung into each ear, only 50% of children choose to be kind-hearted and incorporate leadership and inspiration in their adolescence and adulthood. Hence why donation events produce an immense impact because kids gravitate towards the interpersonal playground and tangible incentives that make them feel as confident as student of the month, Milwaukee Ballet student, Sydney, also known as the daughter of Gretchen Jameson, Wisconsin Chief Marketing Officer at Versiti Blood Center, is one of those children intrigued and motivated by donation events as well as becoming a vessel of help. A powerful representation of this naturally occurred right here in the city streets of Milwaukee. She planted the seed for innovative and impactful change with just a single question. 

After witnessing countless collegiate and athletic competitions to strengthen blood donation awareness and the number of donors attached to it deemed as successful, Sydney’s eyebrows raised instantly and asked WI Chief Marketing Officer Gretchen Jameson, who she calls mom:

“Why have we never held one as Ballet being the driving force?”

If the saying “Like mother, like daughter” were a face, it’d be these two. Little did Sydney know that her mom and the rest of Versiti’s team birthed a new campaign titled A Stage for Life, which is a physical manifestation of local artistic organizations and innovative extraordinare, Versiti joining forces to increase and maintain a more diverse, promising and larger support system from the community when it comes to blood donation. 

On Friday, March 21st, 2025, Sydney’s seed had grown into the first A Stage for Life event presented by partners Versiti Blood Center and Milwaukee Ballet named as The Inaugral Sleeping Beauty Blood Drive taking place at the Baumgartner Center for Dance from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The themed blood drive caught many by surpise and intriguingly had their eyes. Blood drives and related events get mistaken for dull, quiet, and dreadful events only held in hospitals or schools that will have the same outcome whether one person decides to attend or not. The inaugural Sleeping Beauty Blood Drive showcased a creative, daring, and inviting ambience pertaining to how blood drives look and feel. 

“As part of the Stage for Life campaign, this initiative highlights the shared values of arts patrons and blood donors—community, compassion, and connection. With a goal to inspire first-time donors and encourage ongoing support, Stage for Life transforms blood donation into an act of generosity, much like the performing arts.”- Gretchen Jameson

Versiti and Milwaukee Ballet incorporated elements from the Sleeping Beauty fairytale such as home is where help begins, fate vs. free will, and the color story. Everyone in attendance also hit the lotto by receiving a buy-one-get-one-free ticket to the highly anticipated and exciting production of Sleeping Beauty presented by Milwaukee Ballet, which will run April 11th-13th at the Marcus Performing Arts Center. There’s no doubt that this event became visually appealing and was rooted heavily with the arts at the forefront but shockingly, it shared more knowledge and information that was heard and received for the first time by the communities in Milwaukee.

“With this partnership, we’re creating new ways for the community to engage and make a real difference for those in need. The arts and blood donation both reflect the belief that people need people.” -Gretchen Jameson 

The three percent of blood donors who annually stamp their mark is only a raindrop in a bucket compared to the percentage of community members who are able to donate–30%. After speaking with some of them I was surprised at how frequently I was hearing the reasons why they never were willing to donate blood before. 

“I thought my blood wouldn’t transmit easily into someone else.” 

“I have many health problems like diabetes and high blood pressure.”

“I never knew where to find out when the blood drives were held.” 

“I honestly didn’t think little old me would make a difference.” 

It amazed me how once people received the correct information and a unique spin on how blood donation events are decorated and tied into other community interests, the response rate and blood donors increased drastically! I’m here to set the record straight /CW fam. As long as you are 17 years old you can donate blood every 2 months. Remember to drink mountains of water, have a balanced diet, and don’t drink any alcohol or put in work at the gym after donating to celebrate. You will make a difference because as soon as Versiti’s blood drives are over, they immediately transport all blood collected to nearby hospitals and community centers in need. “Blood cannot be designed, manufactured, or replicated. Your neighbors, family members and children need you.” -Gretchen Jameson 

Fairytales aren’t always about a man and woman falling in love and driving off into the sunset. Most of the time, the message illustrates how it takes a village to establish tremendous health, connection, community, and compassion. 

Couldn’t make this event? No worries. This is only the very beginning for Versiti to partner up with other art organizations in the city to create an electrifying movement bringing music, visual arts, theatre, dance, and blood donation to center stage!

SnapShot Press Release | Topdog/Underdog [& a special invite to Legacy Night at the Milwaukee Chamber theater]

/

Modern-day digitization of “parlor games” will have you responding in the comments of a random social media post that asks, “name a dynamic duo”, with answers like…

Batman & Robin

Bonnie & Clyde

Peanut butter & Jelly

Bert & Ernie

Mac….AND….CHEESE

The foolery warrants a good knee-slapping chuckle [because why are we like this? Lol]  but somewhere in the ether there lives another dynamic combination that is destined to teach us all something about our own humanistic bonds; Lincoln & Booth.

Now, for those of you who are history buffs, don’t start jumping down my throat. I'm not talking about Abraham [Lincoln] and John Wilkes [Booth]. I’m talking about the brothers [& I mean brothers who are BROTHERS in the biological & melanated sense] from playwright Suzan-Lori Parks’ Topdog/Underdog.

Let’s make it clear: 

I am always baffled, yet mesmerized, by the execution of an obvious hustle.

I’m talking about a three-card monte on a flooding table and being a Black Man in America.

[If you can’t find the correlation, then it's already too late.]

On Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025, I was invited to experience a sneak peek scene reading from the play from the Milwaukee Chamber Theater, who will be ending their 50th-anniversary season with the Topdog/Underdog productions directed by Gavin Dillon Lawrence. This Here2Play event was hosted at Running Rebels [whose mission is to guide Milwaukee youth into adulthood through mentoring, positive programming, and community connection] and included a panel of esteemed Black Men from Milwaukee, making an impact in their community.

image by /CW

We witnessed actors Dimonte Henning [Booth] and Anthony Fleming III [Lincoln] capture the complexities of brothers in an unyielding predicament that is the Black experience, preparing for the April 25th to May 11th, 2025, show dates with vigor, humility, and humor. There scripted banter seemed natural and reflective of the insight panelist Vedale Hill [Milwaukee Fine Artist, Arts Educator, and Community Advocate], Nate Deans, Jr [Director of Black and Latino Male Achievement, Milwaukee Public Schools], Damon Shoates [Community Organizer, Running Rebels], and Lafayette L Crump, JD (Moderator) [City of Milwaukee Commissioner of City Development] transparently discussed. 

They untangled questions that directly acknowledged their existence [as a collective and as individuals] that have historically been snubbed in the public arena.

What does it mean to be a Black Man?

“Actualizing the dreams of my ancestors”. - Nate

“I get to have audacity”. - Vedale

“To be responsible for the history of my people - immediate & past history”. - Damon  

They lovingly gave us their intimate thoughts, recalibrating the toxic tropes of masculinity into reflections of who they are as men…

Evolving

Committed to uplifting

Partners of accountability

They each noted how they navigate the world they exist in with a sense of obligation that reaches far beyond their gain as stewards of a community that still needs help changing the narrative of the plight that has been unjustly cast upon it. 

image by /cw

“These young men are innovators and understand the literacy of social media. . .How do we as people who run systems, integrate young people and vulnerable groups into [that work]?”Nate stated as he discussed culturally competent pedagogy.

“Your perspective is important. All historical documents and archives are some kind of art form: written, sculptural, or visual. Art is the treasure box of what happened. If you don’t say what happened, your story, your position, and your perspective can be untold. . . I try to get young people to approach art in that type of honest and philosophical way”, Vedale preached.

But it is in this conversation that we are directed back to the art of Topdog/Underdog and what awaits us on the stage as art holds a mirror to our existence. 

It's a space that I want us to hold together…Let me clear my throat *hmmmm hmmm*... It’s a space I invite all of my BLACK community to hold together for Legacy Night.

Milwaukee Chamber Theatre & CopyWrite Magazine [as a community partner] invites Black and African American community members to join us for Legacy Night on April 30 at 7:00 pm, a special performance of TOPDOG/UNDERDOG by Suzan-Lori Parks dedicated to and celebrating the Black community. Join us beginning at 5:00pm for a special pre-show reception! Tickets are $30 (plus tax and ticket fees) with special code LEGACY. 

To be in community with each other gives us more opportunity to build bonds with each other that exemplify brotherhood, triumph over adversity, and unadulterated joy.

Let’s show our city what it feels like to win together.

See you at the theater!

COMMUNITY PULL UP | PAINT PARTY | SUNDAY APRIL 6TH, 2025 | 2PM-6PM

/ /CW CREATIVE STUDIOS + SHOP/

We are strong advocates of a Creative Economy. 

We know as professional creatives that the practice of making is best cultivated through collaboration. However, opportunities for creative collaboration can be sparse depending on age, locality, and personal network. Retention of talent [cultivated locally] will always be a problem unless we address it intentionally, constantly, & economically supported.

So /CW Creative Studio + Shop & Jazale’s Art Studio is doing something about it & we need your help.

Spring 2025, we will be introducing our new Artist-in-Residency Mentoring program, which we are calling THE CREATIVE COLLAB. This is a mentoring-focused Artist-in-Residency program that connects youth/young adults with professional creatives. Each participant will have access to mentors across the creative spectrum in their area of interest. Participants will be immersed in a diverse creative environment where they will witness everyday practices of creative professionalism, methods of creative production, problem-solving, the proper methods of documentation, and how best to utilize their specific skill sets.

But we need space for that!
So we are prepping a “makers space” to accommodate [& inspire] more young creatives, increase capacity, and accommodate art practices outside of our typical space use. 

We are asking our community to spare a little time to help us prep. You could:

  • Help us paint & organize the “makers space” at our Community Pull Up | Paint Party

  • Donate to our supply fund

  • Become a monthly member of the studio

    • [This helps us maintain a quality facility where programming is offered]

  • Consider renting our facility for your next event

  • Attend our creative programming & events

    • [each one #supportsthelocal]

We know that “Wisconsin’s creative sector supports nearly 90,000 jobs and provides $10.8b in economic value.” [ Wisconsin’s Creative Economy Coalition, wisconsincreates.com/.]. However, those numbers do not always represent a fair value payment to creatives. We have experienced the filtration system of funding, which results in extreme underpayment, a lack of consistency, and equitable economic opportunities for creatives. THE CREATIVE COLLAB | BRONZEVILLE ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCY MENTOR PROGRAM is a good first step toward a more equitable and robust creative economy that supports and retains the next generation of innovators, changemakers, and great thinkers.

Tea Parties Don’t Stop At A Certain Age; Here’s How Not Your Mama’s Tea Keeps Sisterhood On The Right Page

/

Have you ever noticed just how closely our kids’ toys and games mimic real-life experiences and elements that are a part of their elders’ lives? Each year, millions of dollars are poured into the sales of fake kitchenette sets, baby dolls, and medical supplies that allow children to pretend to be the most prestigious doctor in their homes. They not only fill excitement inside the kiddos from head to toe but it opens a glimpse of what adulthood will look like. It’s no secret that us grown folk have access to a whole ‘nother world as well as a right of passage to do as we please and make all decisions on our own; whereas children coming behind us have restriction after restriction. Ironically, one of the few things children get to enjoy that takes up the majority of adult’s leisure time is partying. Think about it /CW fam kids have a party for any and everything. I know you remember those Valentine’s day parties at the end of the day. Although there are hundreds of different types of parties such as birthdays, engagements, housewarmings, and even pizza parties, we used to collect a mountain hill of box tops for each party, which mirrored the same purpose. No matter how star-studded or lowkey the party is, the goal of letting loose, enjoying one another, and living in the moment remains the same. Surprisingly, there’s one kind of party that kids have on lock over their parents. (Drum roll please……….) Tea Parties!

The representation and lifestyle element of tea has always held high importance and demand in select counties including prestigious kingdoms and well respected cultures. However; the country labeled as innovative, spontaneous, and welcoming (The United States) did not gift tea the well deserved representation and education as others. Within the past five years, that narrative has done a complete 180-degree turn and it has now caused an international frenzy. Primetime showrunners and writers, including one of the industry's fairy godmothers, Shonda Rimes, have become heavyweight champs in creating stories and yellow brick roads to the doors where tea parties and the drink's social impact are the main setting and primary gears that heighten the story. The roles have reversed, and now children are educating their teachers, parents, and grandparents on how the theme is supposed to be carried out in an authentic yet organic light.

Although it would be easy and smooth to give all the credit to those behind the scenes of your favorite shows like award-winning Bridgerton, the real impact comes from everyday people hosting themed events and centering tea into their daily routine like founder of Not Your Mama’s Tea, Rhonda Hill. 

An intergenerational tea social club that strengthens both personal and professional relationships amongst the black community is what can describe Not Your Mama’s Tea. I view this phenomenon as the medium between “The Pit” and Khadijah James magazine Flavor in ‘90s hit sitcoms Living single & A Different World. A seed was planted inside founder Rhonda Hill back in 2018 when the unicorn launched in Milwaukee, WI. 

“The inspiration is about honoring the rich history and influence of tea in communities worldwide while incorporating it with hip-hop culture. Tea has always been a connector, much like music. It’s about providing a space where people can engage with tea culture and Black culture. Often afternoon tea time comes with thoughts of English tea time, with hats and gloves like Queen Elizabeth. As an avid tea drinker, I wanted to make sure I reflected my own Black culture when hosting an afternoon tea, thus tea for the culture.”- Rhonda Hill 

She made an interesting observation that struck me. Now I want you to be honest with yourself; when you think of tea what spaces and faces pop up in your head? For most people, they think of the UK, royalty and early 1600s interactions. On the other hand what comes to mind when you think of hip-hop culture? The scoreboard becomes filled with vocabulary such as energetic, loud, wild, colorful wardrobe and minority faces. Hill and her team found this to be unfair and mind-blowing how African-Americans; especially women, are not illustrated and represented in spaces that have tea at the forefront. This harsh reality lit a fire in her to create her business and start carving out an identity for black culture in the polished light of the beloved beverage. A simple idea to make tea and hip hop culture the hot new combo on the block quickly grabbed the eyes and ears of our city’s bold yet underground community of black women who are hardly recognized. 

The cultural innovation held its latest event on February 16th, 2025 at Milwaukee's Hip Hop Museum at 2222 N 19th St Milwaukee, WI. Soulful music served with a platter of intentional yet entertaining conversations regarding career development, self-identity, wearing a million hats as a black woman and true love for hip hop was carefully curated by Not Your Mama’s Tea during the afternoon. A light was shed on the newfound trend surrounding Valentine’s Day which is Galentines. Many mistake this day for only recognizing and praising romantic love but Galentines has rebirthed the structure of the national holiday. Thousands of friend groups are celebrating each other by having cozy girls’ night ins, a night on the town or intimate spaces to highlight their friendships. Hill and her team incorporate this type of atmosphere and sense of belonging all year round; not just for Galentines. Sisterhood shouldn't be celebrated during only one month out of the year when we are all sisters 365 days a year. 

“The culture of our events is all about inclusivity, relaxation, and celebration of ‘girlfriend’ culture. We create a space where women can unwind, enjoy quality tea, and vibe to great music, especially hip-hop. It’s about blending different aspects of life—culture, music, and community—into a warm welcome. We have been hosting parties at the Milwaukee Hip Hop Museum, making for a great blend of hip hop and tea.” - RH

Tea parties shouldn't end once of our little girls becomes a teenager or reach womanhood. They mirror a safe space for women to let their guard down and tune in their inner Angela Bassett in What’s Love Got To Do With It, where she played Tina Turner finding peace as she chanted “Nam-myoho-renge-kyo” and drunk tea. Since 2014, it's become one of the highest in demand beverages of the African-American household; acting as a bridge between social and health perspectives. Hill has made it a point to throw a variety of events using this framework such as birthday parties, community events and action plan workshops. You ever notice how when women are in union with one another there's always time for a good drink and plate of food made with love. No matter if it was Joan, Lynn, Maya and Toni in Girlfriends or Kim, Niecey, and Moesha in Moesha; drinks and food always served as comfort and connection. 

“Tea is a universal symbol of comfort and conversation. We chose tea because it is one of my favorites, making it a great way to blend my enjoyment of tea with my desire to connect and serves women. It’s not just about sipping great tea—it’s about creating a moment of connection. Tea encourages slow, intentional interactions, and that’s the kind of energy we want to cultivate in our events.”- RH

Do you feel that nobody can relate, understand or connect with you both socially and emotionally? Maybe you want space as a black woman to just be yourself without all the expectations and just looking for a good time to let your hair down and not be required to be superwoman all day. Become a member of the social club by booking your next event with them or purchasing a ticket for the company's next event on their website: https://www.notyourmamastea.com/.

Join the circle by following their Instagram @Tea4TheCulture as well to get access to the next sip of tea curated specifically for you. Comment down below what type of event you want to see next from them. In the meantime ladies I challenge you to drink your favorite blend of tea while bopping a hip hop song you can't live without.
