    This organization is one of the reasons I decided to stay in Tulsa. They offer a variety of…read moreleadership development programs to build skills and create connections in the community through service. Going through their main flagship program, LT 360, (Class 51 #BestClassEver!), when I was relatively new to Tulsa was one of the best decisions I made. Even though I graduated from a Tulsa high school, I had never heard of the Race Massacre and how it still impacts our community today. I learned so much about Tulsa as a whole and the amazing people tackling different issues to make it better. It changed my perspective and made me excited to make Tulsa my home. I still keep in touch with some of the other members of my class and it allowed me to network outside my regular field. I have also gone through their Hispanic Leadership Institute and it was an amazing opportunity to connect with others and reflect on relevant topics in our community. There was also a project component to it which increases engagement and involvement in our community. Lastly, they have recently opened an amazing facility with conference rooms and event spaces open to the public. I've attended events and workshops here and it's an amazing space. Their staff is amazing too! Can't recommend enough.

    LT REPRESENT CLASS 2! I started following Leadership Tulsa…read moreon social media before ever moving to Tulsa. I knew I wanted to get involved with them once I was in a position to make the commitment. I moved here as a "single mom" while my husband was stuck abroad with immigration issues. Once we knew he was coming home, I applied for the Represent program. I make it sound like a huge commitment-it's not. But each cohort they have requires a kick-off overnight retreat and I'm one of those moms who won't allow my child to sleep over with anyone except her grandparents. LT runs a few different programs out of their center, with multiple cohorts each year. I was in their newest class, represent, which helps folks learn about running a campaign and what running for and being in different local and state office positions entails. I learned a lot, and I think everyone in my class felt that way over the six months we spent training. We got the opportunity to meet so many aha ing leaders from local school board members up to members of the OK House. Marcia and her staff who do all the programming here are phenomenal and you know they love the work they do. The new office space is great! When you are a member of a LT cohort, you have free access to co-work here. I have my usual co-working space, but sometimes it's nice to change it up, and I do that here. They have a monthly fee community co-work day where all folks can come check out the space. I'm really grateful for not only all that I learned in my cohort, but also the friends I made and cultivated through the class.

    I did not know about the Tulsa Global District until I saw the sign outside of Nam Hai today…read more Founded in 2020, the Tulsa Global District is committed to commercial revitalization of the 21st St & Garnett Road commercial corridor. Tulsa Global District in East Tulsa is bounded by 11th Street to the north, the Martin Regional Library to the south, Highway 169 to the west, and Disney Elementary School to the east. I have frequented some of these businesses in Tulsa Global District without even knowing. Most of these are on East 21st Street or on S. Garnett Road. There was a night market in May 2024 that I missed, but it looked really fun. I don't see anything for 2025 though. Now I know about it, I will set my goal this next year to try all businesses in Tulsa Global District, especially the taco shops. I wish they would put some sort of physical markers for Tulsa Global District like the Asian District in Oklahoma City. Maybe some signs on E 21st Street so that way when people drive by the area, they know they are in Tulsa Global District. As of right now, it's an underwhelming and unknown area on the map.

    When I first moved to Tulsa, I asked the first Mexican I met where I could find the best tacos…read more They immediately told me I had to go to 21st & Garnett. When I asked for the name of the spot, they said it didn't matter which one I picked, I wouldn't be disappointed. I was skeptical at first but then learned that it was the truth. Not only did I find authentic Mexican food, but I also found the great Asian food. This is certainly where you find the best pho. East Tulsa is where cultures collide. I am so excited this is being brought to light by the Tulsa Global District, an organization formed in 2020 as an Oklahoma Main Street Program. The program's goal is to revitalize communities with economic stimulation and restore them as core assets. Luisa, the director of TGD, is looking for ways to books the area's visibility through community events. They threw a multicultural festival in the parking lot of Nam Hai back in March 2022, that had amazing food trucks (this is where I discovered Manila Ice), Asian & Latinx music/dance performances, market, and activities for all ages. It was so fun! They also organized an Asian American Pacific Islander Cultural Festival in May. The organization's vision is that the area will be a destination for inclusivity and for celebrating multicultural diversity. Super excited to see what else they have in store!
