🎙️ Karen Robinson Brings Powerful Piece “Hear With Your Heart” to The Greenwood Beat – WFPG’s Juneteenth Poetry Showcase

Tulsa, OK — When powerful words meet purpose, the impact is unforgettable—and Karen Robinson, known in creative circles as KayRobi, is a perfect example of that dynamic. A native of Chicago, KayRobi will be featured in the 2025 Juneteenth Poetry Showcase hosted by The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, performing her original piece, “Hear With Your Heart.”

A writer since the age of 12, KayRobi has long used her voice to challenge systems, inspire change, and connect people through the written word. Her work has been published in several outlets, with a strong focus on law enforcement reform and social justice advocacy. Her poetry reflects lived experience, deep compassion, and an unwavering commitment to truth.

Now residing in Dallas, Texas, she continues to inspire not just through her writing but also through motherhood—raising her talented daughter, vocal artist 444 Dust, who is carving her own powerful path in the music industry.

“Hear With Your Heart”

In a world where too many listen to respond, KayRobi urges us to feel—to truly hear each other through empathy and presence. Her performance is a soulful reminder of the healing power of understanding and the need to lean in closer to the voices that are often overlooked.

Why Black Media Is More Important Now Than Ever

By Dr. Angela K. Chambers | The Greenwood Beat – WFPG

In a world dominated by mainstream narratives, the presence and power of Black media remain not only relevant—but vital. For generations, Black media has been the heartbeat of our communities, echoing our voices when no one else would, capturing our truth when others ignored it, and holding space for our stories, brilliance, and legacy.

At The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, located on historic Greenwood Avenue—also known as the original Black Wall Street—we don’t take that responsibility lightly. We carry the torch of those who came before us: publishers, broadcasters, journalists, and radio hosts who dared to challenge the silence with sound, the invisibility with visibility, and the exclusion with undeniable inclusion.

Representation Matters

Black media tells the stories that mainstream outlets often overlook—or intentionally suppress. Whether it’s celebrating our entrepreneurs, calling attention to social injustice, or uplifting cultural moments, we ensure that our people see themselves reflected with accuracy, dignity, and power.

Representation isn’t just about who’s on the screen or mic. It’s about shaping how we are perceived by the world—and how we perceive ourselves.

Preserving and Protecting Our Narrative

From the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre to modern-day movements, Black stories have often been distorted or erased. Black media is our safeguard. It’s how we document history in real-time, ensuring our legacy won’t be buried again.

We don’t wait for permission to speak. We speak. Loudly. Proudly. Authentically.

Empowering Our Communities

Black media serves as an economic engine, offering opportunities for ownership, employment, and entrepreneurship. It provides platforms for Black-owned businesses, authors, artists, and changemakers to be seen, heard, and supported.

At The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, we offer not only radio programming—but a space for syndication, advertising, digital storytelling, and cultural restoration.

Creating a Safe Space for Dialogue

Black media fosters spaces where we can talk about the real issues affecting us—mental health, justice reform, education, legacy-building, financial literacy, and more—without code-switching, without censorship, and without fear of being misunderstood.

We invite healing conversations, radical love, and bold ideas because we know that healing and growth begin in community.

A Legacy We’re Still Building

From Frederick Douglass’s The North Star to Ebony magazine, to local and digital platforms like The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, Black media has always been about freedom. Freedom to be seen. Freedom to speak. Freedom to imagine and reimagine our future.

As we amplify voices, protect culture, and inspire the next generation, one truth remains clear:

Black media isn’t optional. It’s essential.

New Show Alert

Premieres Sunday, June 1st at 1 PM CST on The Greenwood Beat – WFPG

There’s a place in Tulsa where the ground holds secrets. The bricks still stand, but they’ve seen it all—rising dreams, raging flames, and a resilient rebuilding. If those bricks could talk, they’d tell stories the textbooks skim past, edit and the history books often bury or omit.

Before 1921, Greenwood was a thriving Black economic powerhouse. A bustling community with its own hospitals, schools, banks, hotels, newspapers, and more. It was dubbed “The Black Wall Street of America”, not because it aspired to greatness—but because it was great.

Then came a single night in 1921—one of the darkest acts of domestic terrorism in U.S. history. In less than 24 hours, the district was reduced to ash. Hundreds of lives were lost. Thousands were left homeless. But even fire couldn’t silence the spirit of Greenwood.

This summer, a new voice will echo through the airwaves to unearth those stories. A new weekly show on The Greenwood Beat – WFPG will explore the resilience of a people and the power of place.

Each week, listeners will step back in time and walk forward with truth. Through first-hand accounts, historical deep dives, and hidden narratives, you’ll discover how the bricks of Greenwood carry more than history—they carry legacy.

Don’t miss the premiere of the show that dares to listen to the past.
If These Bricks Could Talk
Sunday, June 1st at 1:00 PM CST
Exclusively on www.thegreenwoodbeat.com

Because Greenwood was never just a place. It was a blueprint. A heartbeat.

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.”
