We are thrilled to welcome our new Chief Communications Officer, Katy Hall, to the LTFF team! One month in and we are already benefitting from her experience and leadership.
I recently engaged in a friendly and energetic discussion around the concept, “If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life.” I disagree with this adage and it comes down to this: there is nothing wrong with the word “work.”
I am someone who loves words, dissecting their meanings and parsing their subtle differences. “Work” in some minds means drudgery or back-breaking labor.
I think “work” is a worthy, noble pursuit. Don’t get me wrong, there are times that work is intense or physically demanding but at its core, it is a means to accomplish something and at the Lobeck Taylor Family Foundation, I think that means accomplishing something life-changing.
I love what I do and I am proud to call it work. There are many aspects of my new role that make me excited to start each day with a mission to decrease the barriers to Tulsan’s with big ideas. I love the power of ideas and their representation of “what if.”
What if there is a place that supports local food and retail entrepreneurs?
What if there is a program that educates chefs, cooks and bakers and helps turn their dreams into their own small business?
What if there is a destination district that celebrates pride of place, Route 66 and the historic, funky vibes that makes 11th and Lewis the heart of Tulsa
