Hello! I’m Shacole Hamlett, and I’m your CreativeMornings Tulsa Host.

If the past few years have taught us anything, it’s how much we crave connection—real, in-person, face-to-face connection. After the isolation of the pandemic, many of us have had to rebuild our sense of community from the ground up, searching for spaces where we feel inspired, seen, and surrounded by like-minded people.

I know this firsthand. When I moved to San Diego post-pandemic, I felt disconnected and uninspired—until I walked into my first CreativeMornings event. What I found was more than a monthly meetup; it was a lifeline, a room full of people who believed in the power of creativity and shared experiences. That space reminded me why I do what I do—why I’m an artist.

Now that I’m in Tulsa, a city experiencing a renaissance in every direction, I want to help create that same kind of space—a post-pandemic gathering place where ideas brew, friendships form, and inspiration flows freely.

The Vision

CreativeMornings/Tulsa was born out of a deep love for this city and its creative spirit.

Tulsa is having a moment. It’s a city where innovation and artistry are colliding in magical ways, attracting national attention for initiatives like Tulsa Remote bringing in fresh talent, and revitalization efforts in Greenwood. This energy is undeniable, and we want to amplify it.

CreativeMornings/Tulsa will be a space for: ✨ Thinkers, makers, and dreamers to connect ✨ Big ideas to take shape ✨ Friendships and collaborations to grow ✨ A collision of Tulsa’s thriving creative and entrepreneurial worlds

We believe everyone is creative—yes, even accountants—and that a creative life requires bravery, action, honesty, and hard work.

If you’re an artist, an entrepreneur, or simply someone looking for a spark of inspiration before starting your workday, CreativeMornings is for you. Let’s come together, share stories, and build something meaningful in this new chapter.

About Me

I’ve spent the last decade as an experiential producer and curator, collaborating with brands, artists, and creatives to build awe-inspiring experiences at major events like Coachella, F1, San Diego Comic-Con, and the Super Bowl. But my journey started in circus performance—I even owned my own circus.

Growing up as a child actor, I always knew I’d work in the creative sector, and while I now spend more time behind the scenes, my heart will always belong on the stage.

Since moving to Tulsa, I’ve fallen deeply in love with this city—its energy, its creative community, and its unmatched spirit of collaboration. Hosting CreativeMornings Tulsa is my way of giving back, creating a space where people can feel the same sense of belonging and inspiration that I found years ago.

Why Tulsa?

Tulsa is ready for something like CreativeMornings. While we have strong arts and tech communities, we lack spaces where these worlds collide. This is where CreativeMornings excels—bringing together people across industries to share ideas, challenge norms, and spark something new.

And we’re not just launching CreativeMornings Tulsa—we’re setting our sights high. Our goal is to break the record for the most-attended CreativeMornings event globally.

The Team

Every CreativeMornings event is completely free to attend and run by volunteers. If you’d like to get involved, we’d love your help! We’re looking for:

📸 Photographers to capture the magic 🎨 Designers to create engaging visuals ☕ Morning People to welcome our community
