Tulsa, OK – April 19, 2025 — The Meet the Press Day Workshop held at OSU-Tulsa was a powerful and engaging event that brought together D9 Leadership for dynamic conversations around media, messaging, and mission. One of the highlights of the event was the impactful presence of Dr. Angela K. Chambers, Founder and CEO of The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, who served as a featured panelist.

During the workshop, Dr. Chambers delivered key insights on contacting and reaching the media, sharing from her wealth of experience in media and community storytelling. She passionately emphasized the importance of creating platforms within our own communities to tell our stories—encouraging attendees to position their organizations as media outlets in their own right.

“Even if mainstream media doesn’t pick up your story, you must still tell it,” Dr. Chambers stated, urging organizations to document their impact, craft their narrative, and become consistent content creators.

The session took an inspiring turn when an attendee asked Dr. Chambers about her journey as an author. She opened up about her family’s rich legacy—beginning with her great-grandfather, Neely Factory, one of Oklahoma’s first Black U.S. Deputy Marshals. She spoke proudly of her lineage of entrepreneurship, highlighting her late great uncle, Joe Phifer, who boldly opened a filling station in Oklahoma in the 1970s after returning from military service.

Dr. Chambers also shared the inspiration behind her latest release, Change Your Life in 21 Days of Good Habits—a self-guided resource and motivational tool for individuals seeking to realign and reset their lives with intention. “It’s more than a book,” she explained. “It’s a tool to help people reset—spiritually, emotionally, and physically.”

The historic Greenwood Avenue was buzzing once again as the highly anticipated Black Wall Street Brunch Club (BWSBC) made its bold return—this time with a fresh twist, strong voices, and meaningful conversation. Hosted by the dynamic Starr Fisher, Co-Owner and Chief Operations Executive of The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, the BWSBC brunch is far more than just a meal—it’s a movement.

Starr, also affectionately known as Honour’s mom, brings a legacy of excellence, leadership, and creativity to the table. Known for her talents as a singer and respected for her business acumen, Starr originally launched the Black Wall Street Brunch Club years ago at her restaurant, Manhattan on Brookside, where guests were treated to soulful dishes and a soul-stirring atmosphere. Now, she’s bringing that same magic back to Greenwood—served with purpose.

Raittia Rogers, author and public speaker

Elnora Brown, counselor, coach, and voice of healing

Business owners and community advocates Corey and Kim Street, Carmen Pettie

And as a special highlight, Steven Williams, President of the National Juneteenth Observance Foundation and Board Member of Project 1619, joined the table. A proud descendant of Tulsa’s historic Greenwood community—famously known as the original Black Wall Street—Williams offered historical context, heartfelt wisdom, and a reminder of why these conversations matter.

Set to be a monthly event, the BWSBC will air on The Greenwood Beat – WFPG and Facebook, broadcasting the brilliance and real talk happening at the brunch table straight to the community.

“This isn’t just a brunch—it’s a platform,” Starr shared. “We’re combining food, culture, conversation, and action. It’s about remembering our legacy while moving forward with strength and unity.”
