On the first Friday of June, June 2nd, I am inviting some of my friends to show up 8 a.m., at Coffee Makes You Black, 2803 N. Teutonia, for blueberry pancakes and soap box moments.
Here is the invite I have sent out to my facebook friends and more I have in my contact list.
Might you stop over for blueberry pancakes at Coffee Makes You Black, June 2, 8 a.m.? Maybe bring a or many friends? This will be my first public experience in 3 years! I'm inviting my heroes...like you!

Djdade Denson, Co Owner of Coffee Makes You Black
Nice article on Djdade: https://maureenlewis342.medium.com/believing-in-himself-333c2b8f485c
"Djdade Denson sounds like he has nine lives: Marquette University Engineering graduate, researcher, entrepreneur, teacher, Black, male, athlete, activist, native Milwaukeean. Asked how he moves fluidly between these identities, from Djdade-researching-proactive-pathogens-in-water to Djdade-the-Marquette-engineering-student to Djdade-from-the-53206-neighborhood, he laughs, “I know how to code-switch.” That’s right, Denson (DJ to his peers) is from the 53206 ZIP code, just north of Marquette’s campus, which was recently the subject of the documentary, “Milwaukee 53206” highlighting the area with the highest incarceration rate of young Black men per capita in the world. For DJ, that is home."

The gathering was a great success!
Here's my facebook post later on that day:
About 30 Souls joyously joined in the Blueberry Pancake and Soap Box Orators Moments at Coffee Makes You Black. This morning's celebration left me arrested in the good sense by my first public event since the pandemic and my blood cancer dance with death. Seek co conveners for the next such event at Coffee Makes You Black.
