My favorite thing about Tulsa is the sense of community that I’ve known my whole life growing up surrounded by family, friends, and mentors as well as collaborating with families and youth throughout my professional career. Every time I’m out and about in Tulsa, there is a good chance I’ll come across a familiar face whether I’m at the grocery store, attending a cultural festival, or grabbing a waffle cone of Cappuccino Chunky Chocolate ice cream at Braum’s. I almost moved out of state last summer and that experience really helped me to further appreciate the people in my life who make Tulsa a special place to call home.
