Autism Acceptance Month: Spotlight on Jacob’s Bridge to Learning

By The Greenwood Beat – WFPG

April is recognized nationally as Autism Acceptance Month — a time not only to raise awareness but to encourage meaningful inclusion, compassion, and understanding for individuals on the autism spectrum. At The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, we are proud to use our platform to amplify the work of extraordinary organizations that are making an impact in our communities. This month, we shine a spotlight on Jacob’s Bridge to Learning, a nonprofit organization that has been a bridge of hope, resources, and support for children with autism and their families.

Founded with love and fueled by purpose, Jacob’s Bridge to Learning was born from the personal journey of a parent advocating for their child. What started as a need to provide tailored educational and behavioral support for one child has grown into a lifeline for many families navigating autism. The organization’s mission is to empower children with autism to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally by creating accessible pathways to individualized learning and therapy.

“At Jacob’s Bridge, we believe that every child has the right to learn in an environment where they feel seen, heard, and valued,” says the founder. “We are not just a service provider. We are a community, a family, and a movement.”

Jacob’s Bridge to Learning offers a wide range of services including educational advocacy, behavioral therapy, support groups, tutoring, and community workshops. The organization works closely with schools, families, and professionals to ensure that children on the spectrum receive the support they need both inside and outside the classroom. They also provide parent training and mentorship for caregivers — recognizing that empowering families is just as important as empowering children.

In the spirit of Autism Acceptance Month, here are a few facts to help foster understanding:

Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), affects 1 in 36 children in the United States.

Autism is a spectrum condition, meaning it affects individuals differently and to varying degrees.

Early intervention has been proven to significantly improve outcomes in learning, behavior, and communication.

Many individuals with autism have exceptional abilities in areas like memory, art, math, or music.

But beyond the statistics, Autism Acceptance Month calls for a shift in how we view autism — from a deficit-based model to one of neurodiversity. It’s not just about “fixing” or “treating” autism; it’s about recognizing the unique strengths, contributions, and identities of individuals who experience the world differently.

At The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, we believe in using our voice to uplift the voices of others. We encourage our listeners, readers, and community partners to get involved:

Donate to Jacob’s Bridge to Learning to help sustain their life-changing programs.

Volunteer your time or skills to support events, workshops, or administrative tasks.

Share their mission and stories to help expand their reach.

Educate yourself and others about autism and the importance of inclusive practices.

Your support can make a real difference.

As we reflect on the importance of acceptance, let us remember that the journey toward inclusion begins with compassion. Organizations like Jacob’s Bridge to Learning are leading the way — not only by providing essential services but by showing what is possible when a community comes together in love and purpose.

To learn more about Jacob’s Bridge to Learning, donate, or get involved, please visit their website or follow them on social media. Let’s build bridges together.

The Greenwood Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome a new financial institution to the heart of Historic Greenwood! This partnership marks a powerful and promising step toward restoring financial empowerment, encouraging economic growth, and most importantly—building legacy through homeownership in North Tulsa and the Greenwood District.

The new bank, American Bank of Oklahoma, is more than just a place to manage your money—it’s a partner in progress. With a shared commitment to rebuilding and revitalizing Greenwood, the bank is focused on helping residents and aspiring homeowners secure the loans they need to purchase homes, start new chapters, and plant generational roots. Through this partnership, North Tulsa and Greenwood can look forward to expanded access to financial resources and tools that help build wealth—right where it matters most.

Dr. Freeman Culver, President of the historic Greenwood Chamber of Commerce, has been a driving force behind this renaissance. Under his courageous leadership, the Chamber was pulled back from the brink of bankruptcy, back taxes were resolved, and over 50 Black-owned businesses were housed in the last standing buildings on Greenwood Avenue—buildings that now proudly sit on the National Parks Registry thanks to his relentless dedication. Dr. Culver’s passion for Greenwood is restoring pride, purpose, and prosperity in a place that has always been sacred ground.

Now, with the support of this forward-thinking financial institution, the Greenwood Chamber invites you to dream again—of homeownership, business success, and financial freedom.

Support The Greenwood Chamber. Build with the bank. Invest in your legacy.

Ready to take the next step? Connect with the American Bank of Oklahoma to start your journey toward homeownership. Because owning a home isn’t just about having a roof over your head—it’s about building wealth, community, and generational impact.

Together, we’re not just rebuilding Greenwood—we’re reigning the legacy.

At The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, we believe one month is simply not enough to honor the extraordinary business women of color who are making history every day. That’s why we’re extending our Women’s History Month celebration weekly through December 2025.

Each week, we’ll spotlight a phenomenal woman—sharing her story, amplifying her business, and giving her the recognition she deserves. From entrepreneurs and innovators to community builders and CEOs, we are shining a powerful light on Black excellence.

Know someone who deserves the spotlight?

Nominate her here!

We’ll take it from there.

Join us as we tell HER story, uplift HER work, and celebrate HER journey—because history is being made right now.

From the very first day The Greenwood Beat – WFPG launched its airwaves, one voice has consistently echoed through the station with purpose, power, and passion: Minister Alvin Muhammad. As the Chief Sustainability Officer of Oklahoma’s first woman-owned radio station on the historic Greenwood Avenue, Minister Muhammad has played an instrumental role in laying the foundation and fueling the mission of this groundbreaking media outlet.

Not only has he been a steady hand in support, but also a pillar of strength behind the scenes. With financial contributions and an unwavering commitment, he built his signature show Trumpet on Greenwood, which proudly stands as the longest-running broadcasted show from the iconic Greenwood Avenue — once known as the original Black Wall Street.

Airing every Sunday at 1:30 PM CST, Trumpet on Greenwood is more than a radio show; it’s a movement. Minister Muhammad uses the platform to speak life into the community, offering wisdom, cultural insight, and truth designed to uplift and educate listeners across generations. Whether he’s discussing community issues, offering spiritual guidance, or highlighting Black excellence, his message resonates deeply with audiences seeking growth and empowerment.

But Minister Muhammad’s impact extends well beyond the microphone. As the founder of Superior Outdoor Services, Inc., he provides jobs and training opportunities in lawn maintenance and landscaping throughout the Tulsa metro area. His work in this field reflects his dedication not just to business, but to building people — giving others the tools to work, provide, and take pride in their skills.

A man of deep faith, Minister Muhammad is also a loving husband, devoted father, and a very proud grandfather. He is a mentor and a respected advocate, constantly urging the culture to strive for more, to rise above, and to build stronger futures rooted in unity and excellence.

His partnership with Dr. Angela K. Chambers, Founder and CEO of The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, has been essential in the station’s growth and sustainability. Together, along with Co-Owner and COO, Starr Fisher, they continue to make history while honoring the legacy of those who came before — ensuring that Greenwood remains a beacon of strength and possibility.

As Dr. Chambers often says, The Greenwood Beat – WFPG is “Rebuilding Black Wall Street one beat at a time.” And with leaders like Minister Alvin Muhammad holding the trumpet, the message is clear and the mission is alive.

Tune in every Sunday at 1:30 PM CST to Trumpet on Greenwood on www.thegreenwoodbeat.com and experience the voice, the vision, and the vibration of a true community servant.
