MILWAUKEE – Milwaukee students are learning to take control of their mental health. They faced the issue head-on at a summit on Monday, April 22.
“I’ve been learning a lot of new things,” said Brighton Mosley, a student.
“I felt really connected. I was in a safe space with everyone here,” said Federico Navarro, a student.
The 3rd annual Black and Latino Awareness Symposium at Marquette University was a day-long event aimed to educate and raise mental health awareness.
“One of the things I learned is to feel confident in yourself and not be afraid to express your emotions in who you are,” Mosley said.

Experts gave those at the seminar tools to use health coping habits like breathing and expressing feelings to others. They also provided support and resources to help the students navigate through life.
“Our Black and Latino males don’t have safe spaces. We need to be able to create safe spaces in order for awareness to happen,” said Harry Evans, Heal Black Man movement founder.
“We wanted to provide avenues for them and have access to the different resources available to them here in city,” said Paul Moga, Department of Black and Latino Male Achievement (BLMA) coordinator.
The resources have left a positive impact on the students.
“I feel like now in this current time. I feel more able to open up more about how I feel,” Navarro said.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
