Social X: Young Professionals Thriving In Milwaukee

Social X is celebrating its 8th anniversary this year in August. While Social X is coming up on a big milestone, you may not have heard that due to the lack of positive news and examples of leadership in the black community in Milwaukee area news-media.

It’s always an easy laugh. The name tag also asks us to write one word that describes us. Ben writes, “teacher.” I write, “realist.” This is the first hint that the event would be different than other networking events.
