We're talking about an inspiring journey taken by one woman, Clarene Mitchell, who recently decided to leave her home and embark on a road trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Tune into hear from Clarene Mitchell herself and find out how entrepreneurship can give rise to some of life's greatest opportunities!
Episode Highlights
01:23 - 2021 was the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre. I'm like, "I'm going to Tulsa." My goal was to go to Tulsa just to visit, go do the visitor/tourist kind of thing, pop in a couple of hours, get back in my car, and continue coming home. Nope. I couldn't leave. That city has been calling me since then. I didn't want to leave when I left. And so, now having the opportunity to go back and to live and to be a part of the rebuilding of Black Wall Street, the Greenwood District, as a Black entrepreneur, and just the energy, synergy that's going on there. Something about that city, the ancestral pull for me, and I'm just so thrilled about the opportunity to go, and that'd be my next chapter.
