How often does a podcast give you chills?

This week, we have a very special guest in Brit Morgan. Brit currently serves as a Teen Program Coordinator with COA’s Holton Youth Center. Until July of this year, Brit was a Community Health Ambassador through Public Allies working on the Infant Mortality Prevention Initiative here at United Way.

Brit is also the founder and host of the newly 3-year-old PENtastic Open Mic series. A spoken word artist herself, Brit refers to this bi-monthly event as her “labor of love” and a “healing center” for people to feel included and connected to their community. The PENtastic Open Mic happens the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month at 8pm at The Artist Factory here in Milwaukee.

This episode was recorded before Brit began her new role at COA, so we will hear about her work with the Infant Mortality initiative at to begin, then move into some conversation about spoken word and PENtastic. Be sure to listen to the end of the episode to hear Brit share an original spoken word piece she composed. That’s where the chills come in.
