Onikah Asamoa-Caesar's childhood dream of opening a bookstore became a reality when she opened Fulton Street Books and Coffee a little over a year ago. Fulton Street is purposely tucked inside a neighborhood making it conducive for building community and developing relationships. Its focus includes a strong mission and overall look at representation through diversity while also focusing on building literacy across generations. Fulton Street centers around the stories, narratives and lived experiences of Black people, People of Color, and marginalized communities.

Annette King has always been drawn to helping animals. The beginning signs of what would eventually become her life’s passion started when she was a young child, caring for stray animals.  In 1996, she purchased a small farm in Rogers County and it wasn’t long before animals and friends with injured wildlife were finding their way to her home and Wild Heart Ranch was born. What started out small has grown into an organization that has helped over 75,000 animals over the past twenty-five years!
