Tulsa, OK — History was made on May 31 and June 1, 2025, as The Greenwood Beat – WFPG hosted the inaugural Greenwood Literary Voices event at 104 North Greenwood Avenue. With a powerful blend of culture, creativity, and community spirit, this groundbreaking event brought together Black authors, readers, entrepreneurs, and community leaders in the heart of the historic Greenwood District—better known as the original Black Wall Street.

The energy was undeniable. From the moment the doors opened at 11 AM, the venue was alive with celebration, inspiration, and powerful storytelling. Every participating author experienced outstanding support, from book sales to heartfelt conversations with attendees who were eager to connect with their stories. Authors Lynne Crawford, Jeremiah Felton, Travis “Ruso” Milton, and Raittia Rogers each shared moving reflections on legacy, resilience, and the importance of reclaiming our narrative.

Adding to the day’s magic, Dr. Angela K. Chambers—Founder and CEO of The Greenwood Beat—conducted interviews with each of the authors live on-air and also turned her attention to the vibrant business owners participating in the Deep Greenwood Vendors Farmers Market. Broadcasting live, Dr. Chambers elevated not only the literary voices but also the local entrepreneurs and artisans committed to rebuilding Black Wall Street one beat, one book, and one business at a time.

The vibe? Absolutely electrical.

Smiles, laughter, storytelling, community support, and cultural pride flowed from wall to wall. The event wasn’t just a book fair—it was a cultural reset, a restoration of what Greenwood has always stood for: Black excellence, unity, and entrepreneurship.

To honor each author’s powerful contribution, personalized Certificates of Appreciation were presented by Ask Angela and The Greenwood Beat – WFPG. These keepsakes marked a historic first—the first literary event hosted at Oklahoma’s first woman-owned radio station on Greenwood Avenue.

Photos from the event captured the joy, pride, and unity of the weekend and will be shared in a special Greenwood Literary Voices 2025 Photo Album— www.thegreenwoodbeat.com and social media platforms. View the album online.

Stay tuned for more voices, more stories, and more power as Greenwood Literary Voices becomes a recurring staple in uplifting Black authors and preserving the spirit of Black Wall Street.

The movement has begun—and it’s only getting louder.

Fridays at 9 PM CST just got even realer on The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, Oklahoma’s first woman-owned and first-ever radio station on the historic Greenwood Avenue in Tulsa—aka the original Black Wall Street.

Treston Irby, member of the legendary 90s R&B group Hi-Five, is back with a new two-part series on his bold podcast Talkin Wit Trus. This time, he’s digging deep into a topic that hits close to home for many men: relationships and the influence of “Jazebel spirits.” The series promises to be as real, raw, and unfiltered as ever. 

Expect strong language, uncut commentary, and deep revelations. This isn’t a sugarcoated conversation—it’s truth in its rawest form, designed to spark self-reflection and healing. Treston continues to create a space where men—especially those from urban communities—can hear their experiences reflected, unpack emotional wounds, and explore mental health openly without judgment.

The phrase “Jazebel spirit” often evokes controversy, emotion, and complexity—and that’s exactly why Talkin Wit Trus is taking it head-on. From emotional manipulation to toxic relationship cycles, no stone will be left unturned as Treston exposes and unpacks what many men are feeling but don’t always know how to say.

The Greenwood Beat – WFPG is honored to host Talkin Wit Trus every Friday night at 9 PM CST. We’re proud to stand beside Treston Irby and his team as they bring bold, necessary conversations to our airwaves and our community.

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.

Because Greenwood was never just a place. It was a blueprint. A heartbeat.
And the beat goes on.

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.”
