Treston Irby’s “Talkin Wit Trus” Brings Powerful Conversations on Men’s Mental Health to The Greenwood Beat – WFPG

The Greenwood Beat – WFPG extends our heartfelt gratitude to Treston Irby for bringing his nationally syndicated podcast, Talkin Wit Trus, to our station. Airing every Friday at 9:00 p.m., the show has created a meaningful space for conversations surrounding men’s mental health—a topic that is often overlooked yet deeply needed in our communities.

Treston Irby, an established voice with both influence, integrity and a member of the iconic R&B group Hi-Five, used his platform to educate, connect, and heal. His approach was raw, real, and refreshing—encouraging men to share their truth, their struggles, and most importantly, their healing journey.

Mental health awareness is a pillar of wellness, and Treston’s fearless way of addressing emotional trauma, stress, stigma, and self-care sparked conversations that many men needed to hear—and feel safe enough to join.

As we look ahead, we’re excited about the return of the show for Season 2. In the meantime, listeners can enjoy a carefully curated music lineup during the Friday 9:00 p.m. slot until Talkin Wit Trus returns.

Thank you again, Treston Irby, for your vision, your voice, and your vulnerability. Talkin Wit Trus is more than a show—it’s a movement, and we are proud to have it on The Greenwood Beat – WFPG.

Standing Room Only: Greenwood Community Unites for Solutions and Safety

Historic Greenwood Avenue was alive with purpose and power as the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce and the Deep Greenwood Foundation hosted a community gathering that brought together leaders, law enforcement, and citizens to address pressing issues and chart a path forward.

Held in the historic heart of Tulsa’s Black Wall Street, the event drew a full house—so full, in fact, it was standing room only. The gathering reflected the spirit of unity, urgency, and determination that continues to define Greenwood’s legacy.

Security was tight and respectful, with Officer Mark Jeans, security for the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce, ensuring a safe and orderly space. Among those in attendance were Tulsa County Sheriff Rick Regalado, a member of the Tulsa Police Department, and representatives from Betty Jackson Counseling Services. Parents, grandparents, business owners, and organizational leaders filled the room, each ready to engage in meaningful dialogue and planning.

Throughout the meeting, the crowd engaged in thoughtful discussions that touched on key issues—most notably, safety and security within the Greenwood District. Concerns were raised, ideas were exchanged, and solutions were proposed. From improving community-police relations to enhancing neighborhood watch initiatives, security was not just addressed—it was prioritized.

Another important area of focus was the event and vendor permit process. Attendees received crucial information about how to navigate the city’s requirements, what to expect when hosting public events on Greenwood, and how to effectively advocate for necessary changes to outdated or burdensome procedures.

Dr. Angela K. Chambers, Founder and CEO of The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, took the floor to share impactful updates with the crowd. She highlighted the ongoing Open Mic Nights, held every Thursday at 6 PM at 104 N. Greenwood Ave, as a vital platform for community voice and dialogue. Dr. Chambers also announced the addition of GRAND Mental Health and Family and Children Services as new partners offering free counseling services.

“We as the community must talk about our issues,” Dr. Chambers said. “We can only go to so many meetings to hear people talk at us. We know what’s going on—and we need to fix it.”

Her message resonated deeply with attendees and emphasized the importance of not only having a seat at the table, but also using your voice once you’re there.

The event also sparked new collaborations and inspired action plans. Ideas were hatched for new initiatives focused on youth development, economic opportunity, and mental health access, signaling the community’s commitment to holistic growth.

The Greenwood Chamber of Commerce and the Deep Greenwood Foundation’s joint effort was a reminder that when community stakeholders gather, real progress can happen. By creating a space for voices to be heard, questions to be answered, and partnerships to be formed, this standing-room-only event did more than fill a room—it fueled a movement.

“I Broke Out of Prison”: Raittia Rogers’ Playwright Debut Inspires, Uplifts, and Heals

TULSA, OK — On a powerful opening night that filled every seat and touched every heart, Raittia Rogers’ long-awaited playwright production, I Broke Out of Prison, made its phenomenal debut—and it did not disappoint.

Hosted in a packed venue brimming with anticipation, the evening unfolded as a deeply moving and triumphant showcase of personal transformation, spiritual awakening, and unshakable hope. From the very first scene to the final bow, the cast of I Broke Out of Prison delivered raw, heartfelt performances that resonated with the audience on every level.

Dr. Angela K. Chambers, Founder and CEO of The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, attended the performance with her grandson, Jeremiah Felton, and described the experience simply as “absolutely amazing.” She, like many in the audience, was captivated not just by the storyline but by the emotional weight carried by the actors—many of whom shared brief but powerful testimonies after the show.

“This was more than a play,” Dr. Chambers said. “It was a ministry in motion. Lives were touched. Chains were broken. And hope was restored.”

The production featured an ensemble of talented actresses and one powerful actor, each bringing their character to life with authenticity and passion. After the final curtain call, Raittia Rogers took a moment to honor her cast, presenting each of them with a Certificate of Appreciation—a gesture that underscored her gratitude and deep respect for their commitment and courage.

Perhaps one of the most powerful moments of the night came from an unexpected place—an audience testimony that left not a dry eye in the room. It served as a reminder that I Broke Out of Prison is not just a title—it’s a testimony, a declaration, and a movement.

To say that we are excited for Raittia Rogers is truly an understatement. She is walking in purpose, touching souls, and boldly helping others find freedom—not just physical, but mental, emotional, and spiritual. She is changing lives, one story at a time.

With I Broke Out of Prison, Raittia Rogers is doing more than creating art—she is creating impact. She is planting seeds of hope and watering them with truth and love. And we cannot wait to see what’s next.

PRAYING, PRAYER, PRAY – IS ALWAYS NECESSARY

By Dr. Angela K. Chambers, Ph.D.
Angela K. Chambers, LLC
#PrayWithoutCeasing

It grieves my spirit every time I hear people criticize or condemn the act of prayer—as if seeking God is a weak or passive response to life’s real issues. Those words pierce deeply because they reveal a deeper disconnect. It makes me realize all the more just how urgently and consistently we need to pray.

For those of us who believe in the Word of God and live by the principles He left for us, prayer is not optional—it’s essential. Scripture clearly instructs us to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). This isn’t a passive suggestion; it’s a call to maintain an ongoing, intimate dialogue with God.

Yes, we also understand James 2:17: “Faith without works is dead.” Faith moves us to act. But prayer? Prayer is the connection. It’s the lifeline. It’s how we hear from God, how we seek wisdom, direction, peace, and clarity. Without it, our actions can become misaligned, reactionary, or even destructive.

To suggest that prayer isn’t enough—or worse, that it shouldn’t be involved at all—is to deny the very foundation of faith. It isn’t either/or. It’s both/and.
We must pray, and act.
We must listen, and move.
We must surrender, and build.

I believe there could be a prayer rally, meeting, gathering, or conference every single day—and it still wouldn’t be enough. Prayer isn’t just an event. It’s a lifestyle. For believers, it’s the starting point for every endeavor and the strength behind every step forward.

When we pray, we don’t just speak—we listen. We receive divine instruction, peace in chaos, and the courage to act boldly. We don’t use prayer as an excuse to do nothing. We use prayer as the power source to do everything with purpose.

To my fellow believers: Do not be discouraged. Keep praying. Pray for your community, your family, your future, your leaders, your businesses, your health, your joy, and your direction. Don’t let the world convince you that prayer is weak. In truth, it’s one of the most powerful things you can do.

So yes, we pray—and then we get to work.

Guided. Focused. Aligned. Empowered.
