Today, the Chamber is home to over 50 businesses, including the Greenwood Women’s Business Center,  The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, Oklahoma’s first and only woman-owned radio station on historic Greenwood Avenue and many more.

The People Are Talking: Let’s Run That Back — Ask Angela with Dr. Jennettie Marshall and Charity Marcus Calls for Part 2.

When two powerful voices like Dr. Jennettie Marshall and Charity Marcus sit down at the mic, you know it’s going to be good—but the recent Ask Angela interview exceeded expectations and struck a major chord in the community.

Listeners tuned in to a bold, necessary, and refreshingly honest conversation about the current state of Tulsa Public Schools (TPS). From boardroom decisions to grassroots advocacy, Dr. Marshall and Marcus brought the facts, the fire, and the focus we need right now.

The show was so impactful, the phones rang, the inbox filled, and the people made it clear: WE NEED A PART 2.

Why? Because the conversation isn’t over.

Dr. Jennettie Marshall, a TPS Board Member and community pillar, broke down truths with clarity and conviction. Charity Marcus, known for her fearless advocacy and policy insight, dropped gems that had listeners nodding in agreement and demanding more. Their perspectives weren’t just educational—they were transformational.

Accountability. Transparency. Community. Solutions. All of that and more was served in Part 1. But with so many more layers to the challenges (and opportunities) within TPS, one show simply isn’t enough.

So what’s next?

Part 2 is coming. And trust—it will go even deeper.

Expect more discussion on:

• The state audit and what it means for the future

• How parents and students can get involved right now

• What real accountability looks like

• Creating a culture of excellence in education

Let’s keep the momentum going.

Stay locked in with Ask Angela on The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, Oklahoma’s first Black woman-owned radio station, broadcasting from historic Greenwood Avenue.

Listen. Share. Be part of the change.
