The community event gave an opportunity for those familiar and those new to the organization to learn about the vision of the Office of African American Affairs (OAAA). Milwaukee Office of African American Affairs, founded by Khalif Rainey in 2016, promotes equal opportunities and enables access to quality-of-life services in one central location. “This is about opening doors for opportunities, this is about opening doors for service and connections that strengthen the African American community right here in the City of Milwaukee,” said Johnson. We need to grow in love, in spirit, and we need to grow in community. The Office of African American Affairs has partnered with DAD Projects, DirectConnectMKE, Dryhootch, Financial Empowerment Center, Greater Milwaukee Urban League, Hunger Task Force, Reid’s Grieving Counsel, True Skool, and Wisconsin Pardon Information Program.
