Yasmine’s Mission
Growing up in District 19, Yasmine has seen the city lose its sense of community.
She recalls the yeasty fragrance from the downtown breweries, the “Whales Commuter” mural along I-43, and when the younger generation could afford to live in the community in which they grew up.
Building a strong community is in Miss Outlaw’s blood. Her fifth great-grandfather, Joshua Lyles, founded Lyles Station, IN. It was the first community of free Black people and once-enslaved Americans to operate its own railroad depot, post office, lumber mill, churches, stores, and its own school. Harriet Tubman stopped there multiple times on her journeys to freedom. Visit her family’s Smithsonian display in Washington D.C..
Yasmine’s grandfather, John Outlaw, is Wisconsin’s oldest teacher and substitute teacher. John introduced Videography to the Milwaukee Public School curriculum.
Yasmine is stepping into leadership to serve her community through her policies that will benefit District 19 and all of Milwaukee.
