Social Good Morning – Ashley Valentine

Social Good Morning is a conversation series hosted by the Lubar Entrepreneurship Center that invites local social innovators to have a conversation about entrepreneurship in our communities. These discussions are moderated by an LEC team member including our featured Entrepreneurs-in-Residence. Innovators will have a brief interview followed by an open-format discourse, fielding questions from the audience about their strategies and passions. Topics of conversation range from poverty to sustainability to inclusivity and beyond.

The LEC is excited to welcome Ashley Valentine, owner of Rooted MKE, a BIPOC children’s bookstore and literary center. After hosting several pop-up events around Milwaukee over the years, the Rooted MKE bookstore opened this past spring on West Vliet Street. Join us at the LEC to hear more about Ashley’s journey of being a former Milwaukee Public Schools teacher and previous STEM programmer for the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Milwaukee. This event is in partnership with Social X.
