What up Cuz? 🤝🏽

At the July 2026 We Outside Health and Wellness Fair hosted by Metcalfe Park Community Bridges
we got to talk to our cousin, Tommie!

Tommie talked about how he practices health and wellness and the challenges of doing so.

With gas prices on the rise and living in a neighborhood without a grocery store, he has to go out of his way to access fresh food.

Making decisions to have food or gas in your car are not decisions anyone should have to make. We should not have to choose between one over the other.

That’s why We Outside!

The We Outside Health and Wellness Fair brings food and resources to the community, meeting neighbors where they are because WE keep us safe and WE keep us fed.

Missed this one? Join us for the next We Outside Health & Wellness Fair on August 28th.

Check out our founder Nateya Taylor featured on PBS Milwaukee’s Black Nouveau speaking on her film about the late artist Muneer Bahauddeen.

“The Good Land | Muneer Bahauddeen: Vision” is Taylor’s first film she released under Naesthetycs Productions in 2023.

When she heard about the passing of Muneer earlier this year, she was saddened, but also felt honored to have known him and that she had the opportunity preserve his legacy through film.

This is part of our mission here at Naesthetycs, LLC to preserve cultural memory through storytelling. We are thankful this film is one of the many ways Muneer’s memory will live on.

Thank you Black Nouveau for having us and thank you Muneer for sharing your genius and creativity with the world. Rest in Power brotha ✊🏽
