Gospel Diva

Shonda English, known for her dynamic performances and deep-rooted passion for gospel music, brings her unique touch to this special episode. Listeners can expect a blend of classic gospel tunes, personal anecdotes, and reflections that celebrate Wallace’s legacy.

The Greenwood Beat

The Old Landmark Gospel Hour airs every Sunday at noon CST on The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, Oklahoma’s first Black women-owned radio station, dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich heritage of gospel music.

Tune in at 12:00 PM CST to join this moving tribute and honor the life and contributions of JoJo Wallace.

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.

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.

📢 “You’re reaching a wider audience.” That message is more than just a feel-good notification—it’s solid proof that the key to growth on social media isn’t begging for likes or blaming your circle. It’s about consistency, strategy, and showing up with value.

Stop Getting Mad at Friends and Family

We’ve all been there—frustrated when our loved ones don’t comment, like, or share our posts. But here’s the truth: they probably didn’t even see it. Not because they don’t care, but because of how social media algorithms work.

Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok decide who sees what based on engagement history, timing, and—most importantly—consistency.

The Algorithm Rewards the Hustlers

That proof image? It’s not luck. It’s the result of frequent high-quality posting. When the algorithm sees you’re active and delivering content people interact with, it starts pushing you to more eyes—beyond your followers.

Think of it like this: 🚀 Post once = some reach
🚀🚀 Post consistently = algorithm boost
🚀🚀🚀 Post valuable content + consistency = wider distribution + potential $$$

Random Posts Won’t Cut It

Your “one good post” won’t carry you. You need a content plan, themes, and a little bit of hustle. Whether you’re promoting your brand, selling a product, or just trying to build a platform—the algorithm favors creators, not spectators.

5 Quick Tips to Win the Algorithm Game

1. Post consistently (daily or every other day)

2. Use engaging visuals (videos, carousels, memes)

3. Start conversations in your captions

4. Reply to comments and messages

5. Watch your insights and post when your audience is most active

Bonus: Monetization Is Real

Many platforms now offer creator rewards, affiliate bonuses, and ad-sharing revenue when you meet certain engagement thresholds. So yes—your hustle can literally pay off.

So next time your post doesn’t “go viral,” don’t blame your friends—blame your strategy. Then get up, post again, and stay active.

Let this be proof: when you stay consistent, the algorithm works for YOU.
