December 1, 2020 by: James Groh | TMJ4 MILWAUKEE — Being a teacher or a parent in 2020 is tough, and to be both is even harder. There are many teachers who are parents performing the balancing act of doing both from their living room. I talked with a Milwaukee teacher who is working to keep her high school students and four-year-old daughter on track.
Since our founding in 2015, we have published lists of the most influential Black and Latino leaders in Wisconsin, and this year, we expanded that to include our Indigenous and Asian American brothers and sisters. It’s been exciting and gratifying every time, and I’m excited to bring you today our 2020 Sí Se Puede list, recognizing the most influential Latino leaders in Wisconsin. We are also proud to bring you the list this year during Hispanic Heritage Month.
I have always intended these lists to highlight the beauty of the diversity in our community. I wanted young people here in Wisconsin to see role models of people who are succeeding, to know that it’s possible for people of color to achieve great things here, and to highlight people of color doing great work in a variety of fields and pursuits. |
