Now who are the people who are really trying to supress votes? LOL typical hypocrites. The parents of these kids probably offered them a nice big fat allowance for this!

Oh, yes it does!

Omokunde, who lives with Moore, a Democrat elected to Congress on Tuesday, was not available for comment, according to a man who answered the phone at Moore's home.

He is 25, and still lives with Mommy, funny name and all!

Cream City Mentors Embrace Community Youth

by Mary Wood Ohiku

The outside looks like any other house, but to Riverwest youth, The Street Academy of Cream City Mentors Incorporated is home. Located at 2438 N. Bremen Street, the Cream City Mentors is run by Supreme Solar Allah, 23; Self Wise Allah, 24; Universal Knowledge Allah, 25; and Charles Dennis, 50.

“Our program is based on a sincere love for seeing people succeed and overcoming challenges and obstacles in their lives,” Self Wise said.

While the Cream City Mentors group was established in 1999, the group of young black males, (although Self Wise is bi-racial), has always been involved with neighborhood children.

Spending time with children through one-on-one activity, both academic and social, allows the mentors to explore and uncover the needs of the Riverwest youth they work with, Self Wise said. The mentors help with schoolwork, act as tutors, plan trips, and share wisdom with these individuals. The depth of their community involvement eventually led to the development of the Cream City Mentors organization.

Their names are as unique as the miracles produced by the non-profit mentorship program. “Our names are reflective of our culture…our way of life,” Supreme Solar said. “We each chose our own names for personal and specific reasons that reflect how we view ourselves.”

The organization reaches out to children in two age brackets: 12-14 and 15-17. “The age groups are divided because teenagers are on different levels,” Self Wise said. “Younger teens are still sorting things out for themselves, while older teens are going through a transition to adulthood.”

The Cream City Mentors have three main goals: Citizenship, Exposure, and Empowerment. “The goal of citizenship is to get young individuals to recognize they are citizens and they have rights and responsibilities,” Supreme Solar said. “We want to teach them they can utilize the government to improve their lives because that’s the way it was set up for them.”

Their second goal, exposure, is to introduce the youth to a world outside their immediate surroundings and allow them to explore other communities through trips to a number of places throughout Milwaukee, such as the Art Museum and Black Holocaust Museum.

Their final goal, empowerment, addresses the importance of self-esteem, recognition of individual talents, and knowledge of self. Through that knowledge, young people can take control of their lives and work to improve their situations.

In addition to these goals, the mentors promote guidance, friendship, creativity, self-confidence, and positivity to enhance the life of the community.

Self Wise, the group’s program coordinator, plans a variety of field trips for the youth to expose them to creativity and provide them with opportunities they are usually denied. He grew up in various parts of Milwaukee but has resided in Riverwest for the past 12 years.

Supreme Solar is an advertising major at UW-Milwaukee and serves as the group’s community coordinator. He works to foster relationships with community organizations, conveying to public entities the kind of work the group does.
