Listen "S2 E11 | Jabee Williams | Preserving History and Innovating Change"
Episode Synopsis
Oklahoma City’s ”East Side" had been a social and economic center for African American life but through gentrification and neglect, the area became a marginalized part of town.
In 2016, Jonathan Dodson’s Pivot Project selected an abandoned strip mall on Northeast 23rd Street for what would ultimately become the EastPoint Project.
The development at Eastpoint gave activist and award-winning rapper Jabee Williams the opportunity to establish Eastside Pizza House alongside other black business owners in a thriving community atmosphere.
In today’s episode, Jabee shares his story of going from entertainer to activist, preserving history and innovating new business models.
Key Points:
Creating positive change through creativity and collaboration.
Honoring the past while innovating the future
Advocating the under-served through community engagement
