TBC Magazine and The Black Chronicle Newspaper are proud to announce the upcoming publication of the 2026 “50 Under 50 Most Powerful & Influential People in Oklahoma.”
This special feature will recognize and celebrate Oklahoma’s next generation of trailblazers — dynamic leaders under the age of 50 who are shaping the future of business, media, culture, education, and community development across our state. These honorees are the entrepreneurs, creatives, public servants, educators, and innovators who are redefining what leadership looks like in a rapidly changing Oklahoma.
From community advocates making a difference in local neighborhoods to executives leading statewide change, the “50 Under 50” list will spotlight those whose influence is felt far beyond their industry. Their passion, persistence, and purpose are paving the way for a stronger, more inclusive Oklahoma.
We invite the public to participate by nominating individuals who exemplify excellence, innovation, and impact. If you know someone whose work deserves recognition, don’t let their story go untold — submit your nomination today and help us celebrate the people who represent the best of Oklahoma’s future.
Nominations are now open!
Join us in honoring the next generation of power, purpose, and progress.
