About the Event

This signature event elevates and furthers the Tulsa region's efforts to cultivate diverse, equitable and inclusive best practices. Additional details about the event, including a panel of local leaders, will be announced closer to the event.

Featured Speaker

Tawanna A. Black, founded the Center for Economic Inclusion, and Living Truth Enterprises, Inc. in 2017. They are organizations dedicated to helping business, government, and philanthropic leaders embed accountability, racial equity, and economic resilience into their core strategies. She led her teams to develop proprietary assessments and inclusive economic competitiveness tools deployed across a network of cities nationwide.

For more than 20 years, she has earned the trust of executives by mobilizing teams to create and execute strategies that benefit diverse workers, consumers, and business owners and drive growth and fiscal health. Each year, Ms. Black and her team offer services to more than 50 businesses and government agencies and educate over 12,000 leaders.

Ms. Black is a skilled public-private partnership strategist and has helped companies, including Mutual of Omaha, ConAgra Foods, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska, and Cox Communications harness the power of government, community and philanthropic partnerships to develop solutions that reward communities, employees and shareholders. Ms. Black’s urban planning and economic development experience, coupled with her keen understanding of the intersection between business goals and community needs, made her uniquely positioned to lead Destination Midtown, an unprecedented public-private partnership in Omaha, Nebraska. 

Keynote topic: Why Inclusive Economies Are the Only Sustainable Competitive Strategy

In a national moment when many organizations are retreating from DEI, the most visionary leaders are asking a different question — not "Should we do this?" but "How do we build something that outlasts any political cycle?" Her keynote draws on two decades of building systems, leading organizations and coaching executives to deliver a talk that is part provocation, part practical roadmap and entirely grounded in data. 

Attendees will receive:

• A reframing of inclusion as an economic growth strategy, not compliance
• Concrete frameworks from her work with 100+ corporations and 30 governments
• A clear-eyed account of the national landscape and what the Tulsa region can do
• Actionable steps for embedding accountability into core business strategy
