She further extends her influence through the Oklahoma Black Business Network Magazine, a platform that shines a spotlight on Black excellence, featuring and celebrating businesses that deserve recognition.

Empowering Black Women in Business

As a Black woman in leadership, Harrison understands the unique challenges women entrepreneurs face, particularly in industries where representation is lacking. She has used her voice and platform to advocate for equity, visibility, and access—ensuring that Black women business owners have a seat at the table. Through mentorship, networking events, and features in OBBN Magazine, she has amplified the voices of countless women entrepreneurs, inspiring the next generation of business leaders.

Her contributions align with the spirit of Women’s History Month—celebrating trailblazing women who create change, foster empowerment, and build lasting legacies.
