In this episode of The 411 Live, Michael Mannan, the Director of Home Environmental Health with the City of Milwaukee Health Department, speaks about lead poisoning, a problem that has been around for decades and continues to affect large urban cities. Lead paint, which was first used in buildings in the 1920s and wasn't removed until 1978, still exists in over 250,000 units, according to Mannan’s estimate.
He believes the actual number may be even higher, as some buildings are apartment complexes and may have multiple units. The hazards of lead paint are apparent when maintenance is delayed and the surfaces begin to deteriorate and create chip or dust. Lead can also be found in water and soil.
The discussion sheds light on the barriers to solving this problem and the efforts being made to minimize the impact on our children's health.

In this episode, host Beverly Taylor invites Kevin Tarkington, the founder of Fearless Fathers, as a special guest to talk about grieving fathers who have lost children. Beverly and Kevin touched on the fact that fathers tend to be overlooked in the equation of losing a child, as they are expected to be strong and hold back their feelings.
This can lead to men internalizing their emotions, making it difficult for them to express themselves during times of grief. This episode highlights the importance of acknowledging fathers' pain and allowing them the space and support to grieve.

Join us as we share an inspiring story about three amazing women from Milwaukee - Adrienne Hunter, Jennifer Webster, and Anita Clinton. They've come together with 3 other business partners to provide safe and affordable housing to those in need in their community.
By using some of the funds from the American Rescue Plan Act, which gave $15 million to the city of Milwaukee, they're renovating distressed properties in low-income neighborhoods. This is giving citizens the opportunity to own new, quality homes for affordable prices, which can help them create generational wealth in the process. I hope this story inspires you to make a positive difference in your own community. Thanks for watching!
