Good Karma Brands and 101.7 The Truth (WGKB-FM) hosted the second annual Truth Summit presented by OneMKE on Nov. 15 at ThriveOn King.

Headlined by Dr. Ken Harris, the Truth Summit was an opportunity for community voices, thought leaders, and educators to come together and address key issues shaping Black Milwaukee.

Two panel discussions were held featuring accomplished and well-known figures from across Milwaukee:

• From the Highchair to Higher Education: Rebuilding Milwaukee’s Educational Pipeline with Dr. Tarrynce Robinson, Superintendent of the West Allis–West Milwaukee School District and Dr. Brenda Cassellius, Superintendent of Milwaukee Public Schools.

• The Health Divide: Bridging the Gap in Milwaukee’s Healthcare System with Dr. Marc Kennedy of the Gastroenterology and Transplant Hepatology Department at Aurora Health Care (Advocate Health).

The event fostered open dialogue and collaboration, turning ideas into meaningful action and lasting change.
