The Tisdale Foundation understands that segments of the population, particularly, African-Americans, suffer from disproportionate rates of diabetes, heart disease, and other ailments; that lack of information about and access to healthy food and health care services contribute to these ills.

The Tisdale Foundation encourages and supports those who seek to live life to the fullest: disease-free, education-rich, and wellness-infused. It’s about quality of life. That means having fun, flashing a smile, and doing things “Wayman’s Way.”

Jamaal Dyer will continue his roles as the project manager of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission and Coordinator of Student Success for Tulsa Public Schools.
