Friday on Lake Effect: National Catholic Forensic League, African-American Midwives, Melinda Myers

Friday on Lake Effect:

 

A graduating high school senior reflects on the lessons she learned working summers working with her dad, as a plumber's helper.  Later, what brings 3,600 of the best young public speakers in the country to Milwaukee this weekend.  How a lack of African-American midwives might be affecting the black infant mortality rate in Wisconsin.  And our gardening contributor helps us get ready for Memorial Day weekend.

 

Guests:

 

  • Kelley Schlise, DSHA
  • Carrie Baker Jackson, Reagan High Sschool
  • Star Twaddle and Sasha Bariffe, future midwives
  • Melinda Myers, gardening contributor
