In this episode, Ryan Trimble and Shawn Williams chat with the president of the Dallas Black Chamber of Commerce, Harrison Blair, who shares insights into his family's history in Dallas, including ties to Negro League Baseball and community advocacy.
Harrison discusses the chamber’s significant growth, expanding from 100 to over 900 members, and highlights key initiatives like a $25,000 micro-lending program with VISTA Bank and a $141,000 grant program launched in 2020. The conversation also covers ambitious plans for the future, such as increasing membership to 3,000, transforming MLK Boulevard into a business district, and establishing a flagship office.
In addition, the episode highlights the chamber's upcoming Cowboy Couture Gala on December 12, which will provide a major opportunity for networking and community support.
Shawn and Ryan also get a surprise "call" from a longtime listener who has a bone to pick with one (or both) of them.
