Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC recently launched Next Door Amani - Ground Zero to assist with the fellowship, citizenship, scholarship, apprenticeship, entrepreneurship, partnership, ownership, mentorship, leadership and STEWARDSHIP.
Stewardship is working in a collaboration with residential, commercial, neighborhood organizations, schools, churches, public and government entities for the overall aggrandizement of "Amanians" - the people in Amani.
"We seek to abate FRAGMENTATION and institute SOLIDARITY.
Step one
Since collaboration and networking is one of the assets of Next Door social network, it is an excellent opportunity to bring together "hidden talent and vetted businesses" in the Amani and contiguous neighborhoods. It is an excellent opportunity for residential and commercial stakeholders to bond, share strengths, evaluate changes, create and implement opportunities that can and will grow the positives available at the census tract and neighborhood level.
X and BFM
The X Generation are the post world war babies - 60-80's and BF & M stands for Born Frees and Millennials. They are the age group from the 1980's to year 2000. They are age for "mentorship" - the leaders into the next generation.
They are progressive, thoughtful, innovative, prideful and IT savvy professionals with a committed agenda to raise the awareness of Amanians and other stakeholders that are key to the self-sustainability of the area of Amani and the city of Milwaukee.
One such hidden talent is: Quan Caston.
Quan Caston, a former U.S. Air Force reconnaissance photographer.
Quan is known in the neighborhood as an artist, author and noted chess educator-teacher with a specific vision in sharing protocols for success with our younger minds - allowing mentor-ship and hands-on project for creativity, art form and patience. Three examples of Quan's mentorship is his teaching the art of chess, outreach in activism and creativity in painting.
