8AM: Community Voices on Violence, Leadership Solutions, and Celebrating Milwaukee Wins (Hour 2)

Homer and Dame open the second hour by turning to the community, giving listeners the floor to share their thoughts on Milwaukee’s recent surge in violence. Callers bring a range of perspectives—from fear and frustration to ideas about accountability and prevention—while Dame emphasizes that harsher punishment alone isn’t a complete solution and that proven strategies need better support. As the conversation continues, they explore deeper root causes, including generational shifts, early warm weather, and the need for consistent community engagement. Homer and Dame stress that real change requires both grassroots leadership and investment from those with resources, highlighting that leadership extends far beyond elected officials. The tone lightens as they pivot to Milwaukee pride, celebrating Juneau’s state basketball championship and debating the lack of a shot clock in high school hoops. The hour wraps with a spotlight on local entrepreneurship, as Alicia Green of Tasteful Events Catering joins the show to share her journey and how she’s building a business that blends food, education, and community impact.
