Founder

Jobi Tyson, a celebrated cultural anthropologist, marketer, and magazine publisher with over two decades of experience, is the driving force behind Tulsanthropology. Her fieldwork is shaped by the powerful intersection of two significant historical events: her uncle's survival of the Tulsa Race Massacre and her descent from Nat Turner, the leader of the largest slave rebellion in the US.

Captivated by Tulsa's resilience and rich cultural tapestry, fueled her participation in the inaugural TulsaBound cohort in Fall 2024, which revealed a city brimming with untold stories. From the echoes of Black Wall Street to the enduring traditions of Indigenous communities, she recognized the need for a cultural hub that would not only honor these stories but also celebrate the ongoing contributions of Tulsans from all walks of life.
