Healthcare Crisis: Government Shutdown Exposes America’s Moral Failure

October 25, 2025

By LaKeshia N. Myers As federal workers miss their paychecks and families wonder how they’ll feed their children this week, we must ask ourselves: How did we arrive at this moment? The government shutdown—now in its third week—centers on a dispute that should shame us all. While lawmakers bicker over healthcare subsidies in Washington, D.C., […]

When the Government Shuts Down, Black Women Pay the Price

October 18, 2025

By LaKeshia N. Myers The ongoing federal government shutdown is not just a Washington crisis—it’s a family crisis, a community crisis, and most acutely, a Black women’s crisis. As Congress remains deadlocked and the Trump administration uses federal workers as political pawns, the human toll continues to mount. And once again, Black women are bearing […]

Breast Cancer: Not Just a Female Problem

October 11, 2025

By LaKeshia N. Myers In 1993, Richard Roundtree was diagnosed with breast cancer. The actor who had personified the role of “Shaft” in the 1970s says he was shocked when he received the diagnosis. “I heard the cancer part first — it was only later that I heard the breast part. I couldn’t believe it.” […]

For Such a Time as This: Black Churches & The Urgent Need for Community Outreach

September 27, 2025

By LaKeshia N. Myers As Black America grapples with the latest iteration of the modern civil rights movement, Black churches find themselves at a critical crossroads.

Wisconsin Finally Takes a Step Toward Electoral Efficiency

September 20, 2025

By LaKeshia N. Myers After years of watching Wisconsin suffer through election nights with delayed results and manufactured controversy, I’m thrilled to see Republican lawmakers finally embracing common-sense election reforms. The reintroduction of legislation allowing clerks to begin processing absentee ballots on the Monday before election day isn’t just good policy – it’s essential for […]

Spewing Poison: How Inflammatory Rhetoric Fuels Political Polarization

September 13, 2025

By LaKeshia N. Myers “Mind your tongue,” my grandmother would say. Her favorite scripture was James 3:1-2, in which the author admonishes readers to bridle their tongue as a sign of spiritual maturity. I was reminded of that this week, in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s death. His killing serves as a stark reminder that […]

The Invisible Made Visible: Celebrating Afro-Latino Contributions During Hispanic Heritage Month

September 6, 2025

By LaKeshia N. Myers As the United States prepares to commemorate Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, it is crucial that we shine a light on a community that has often remained in the shadows of our national narrative: Afro-Latinos. With rising numbers identifying as Afro-Latino in the United States—approximately 6 million […]

Texas Democrats Stand Strong: A Familiar Fight for Democracy

August 9, 2025

By LaKeshia N. Myers History has a way of repeating itself, and as we watch Texas Democrats flee their state to block another Republican power grab, those of us who remember the Wisconsin 14’s brave stand in 2011 are experiencing a profound sense of déjà vu. Fifty Texas House Democrats have left the state to […]

August Is Black Business Month: An Economic Imperative

August 2, 2025

By LaKeshia N. Myers August marks Black Business Month and never has this recognition been more crucial to our community’s survival and prosperity. As corporate America and government agencies systematically dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, and as minority contracting face unprecedented challenges, Black-owned businesses stand as our economic lifeline—not just for Black communities, but […]

Elections Really Do Have Consequences… And the State Budget Proves It

July 26, 2025

By LaKeshia N. Myers The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel’s recent report on July 22nd should serve as a wake-up call to every Wisconsin resident who claims to care about education. Wisconsin’s per-pupil spending on public school students continues to fall behind the national average, with the state now 10% behind where we should be investing in our […]
