As Miss Wisconsin, her platform is "expression without exclusion." She believes everyone should have access to the arts — a passion that connects her to Radio Milwaukee. Willow is an alum of our youth music program, Grace Weber’s Music Lab, so we had to connect following her recent win.
Grace Weber's Music Lab Program Director Britney "B~Free" Freeman-Farr joins Uniquely Milwaukee host Kim Shine for a great talk with Willow about her new title, her inspirations, her confidence and what comes next.
