What's In A Name
Named For Black Wall Street And Madam C.J. Walker
Greenwood: The Legacy Of Black Wall Street
In the early 1900s, the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma, was home to a thriving community of Black-owned businesses that prospered despite the racial barriers of the time. The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre devastated the district. Its example of enterprise and resilience still inspires.
Walker: The Legacy Of Madam C.J. Walker
Madam C.J. Walker is often regarded as the first self-made female millionaire in America. She changed the hair care industry and opened a path to economic independence for countless Black women.
We took these names as a standard to work by: build something lasting, lift the community as you grow, and tell its story with dignity.

Meet The Founder
Alysia Minor
Founder And CEO · Entrepreneur, Speaker, And Consultant
Alysia Minor has spent more than 20 years helping governments, nonprofits, campaigns, and companies speak credibly to the communities they serve. She is the founder of Greenwood Walker and the creative director behind Greater Houston Media Group.
Her start was in organizing. As founding vice president of what became, at its peak, the largest African American political organization in Texas, she led digital outreach in the early 2000s, before most campaigns had a digital plan. At the University of Houston she served as a student senator and as Director of Public Relations for the Student Government Association. She earned a B.S. in Psychology with minors in History and African American Studies, and helped win department status for African American Studies.
Alysia is equal parts analyst and artist. She reads the data and she designs the work, which is why clients bring her in to solve problems that sit between strategy and creative. She consults with organizations, trains their teams, and speaks on reaching Black and multicultural audiences with authenticity.
She is an alumna of Leadership Houston Class XXV and a founding member of the Houston chapter of the National Association of Christian Women Entrepreneurs. Away from work she is an artist, a reader of about a book a week, and a mother of six who has yet to meet a board game she didn't like.
