JACOBI S. WINSLETT
Operations Manager
jacobi.winslett@okcblackchamber.com

An Oklahoma City native, Jacobi is a proud graduate of Millwood Public Schools where he graduated with honors in the top 10% of his class. He then went on to attend the University of Oklahoma to pursue a degree in Sociology. Having worked in both retail management and law-enforcement, Jacobi realized his passion for helping others and his dream to be a entrepreneur. In early 2019 that dream became a reality and he started Winslett Cleaning Services, a commercial cleaning company. Jacobi was determined to break the cycle of poverty and create his own path to success. 

​Although he lives in Oklahoma City, Jacobi is a proud member of ​Transformation Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he serves and volunteers on a weekly basis. As a young business owner, he is innovative and excited to be part of the BCC Operational Leadership team, as he is able to provide new ideas and a fresh perspective.

Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve….You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.
