  • Summary

  • Although Oak Cliff is a neighborhood where more than 66% of the population is Hispanic, 22% white, and over 7% Black, the Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce didn't hire a Black person until 2007. That person is one of today's guests to the show, the current President of the Chamber, Kiyundra Jones.  In this episode, I have the pleasure of welcoming Kiyundra Jones and DeAnn Lax to the podcast. Kiyundra is the Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce president, IOM, and a Business Expert. DeAnn Lax works as an Associate Creative Director at the Chamber; she is a communications professional with over 15 years of experience in community relations, grant writing, and public affairs.  Today, Kiyundra and DeAnn share bits of their story, how and why they decided to join the Chamber. We have a conversation about the Chamber's services, how they assist the community, and their link with minorities' representation. Kiyundra talks about the moment she got into the Chamber and noticed she was the only Black person there. We also talk about video games, education, the St. Philip's School and Community Center work, and much more.  Visit the Oak Cliff Chamber website: http://oakcliffchamber.org/ Check on their Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Oak-Cliff-Chamber-of-Commerce-105530486724/ Follow them on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oakcliffchamber/ You can connect with Kiyundra on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kiyundra-jones-iom-314855104/ Or with DeAnn also on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deann-lax-m-a-0425a611/
