A couple of weekends ago was the women of color. The guest speaker of the luncheon was actor Morris Chestnut. This was the 13th annual Women of Color Expo. The Women of Color Expo is to reach out to aspiring and achieving women from all walks of life in our community.
Black-owned businesses get a chance to promote their business in front of their community. They also get a chance to network with other business owners. The expo also has seminars about financial aid, health care, law firms, etc.
The Women of Color expo brings the community together. It also allows people to see a celebrity they admire in person and also get a chance to meet them. It also allows celebrities to see Oklahoma City for its true self. Chestnut also has Oklahoma ties. Some of his close family is from Tulsa. Chestnut talked about his career in acting and how he balances his career with everyday life.
The last part of the expo, which I think is the best part, is the fashion show. Seeing all of the different designs is pretty cool. The show also shows all the talent that is in Oklahoma when it comes to fashion. The Women of Color Exp is a hidden gem that people need to pay more attention to.
