In terms of language, it was easy to get around because everyone spoke English. However, there is definitely a distinct Tulsa and Oklahoma accent that was present. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Issa Vibe! Tulsa has a LOT happening – -truly a whole cultural experience. I did not realize the extent of this until after I left Tulsa and connected with Tulsa residents on Instagram. I stumbled across Black artist network who were selling their art pieces at a local market event. I have since learned there are tons of events happening for the Black community on a weekly basis. Seeing these events on my feed, it makes me want to move there! While Tulsa is a small town, you will never be bored because there is always something happening that brings the Black community together. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
This has been an interesting experience for me. Knowing that Tulsa used to be center of one of the most thriving Black communities in the United States and Oklahoma was almost an all-Black state, it hurt me to see how Black Wall Street is now just a 2 block-strip. I noticed when I was flying to Tulsa, I was perhaps just one of 3 people on the flight. I did not really see Black people until I made my way to Greenwood Ave. This is where I saw all the Black people, but most of them were visitors from nearby states. Most of the Black community is isolated to North Tulsa, which is away from the tourist center of Tulsa. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
