In this episode of Double Down Michigan, Executive Director Henry Williams sits down with Keesha Garrett, the Michigan Gaming Control Board’s Communications Manager, for a wide-ranging conversation about what it really takes to elevate the voice of a state regulatory agency. 

Keesha’s work at the MGCB goes far beyond press releases and social media. As the agency’s Communications Manager and Language Access Coordinator, she ensures that Michigan’s diverse communities — regardless of the language they speak — can access and understand the agency’s work. And as People and Culture Manager, she works to build a workplace where staff feel valued, supported, and connected with a shared purpose.

Together, Henry and Keesha explore how all these roles intersect — and why strong communication is at the heart of everything the MGCB does. 

Whether you’re a Michigan resident curious about how your state’s gaming industry is regulated, a gaming industry professional, or simply someone who believes that good government starts with clear and inclusive communication, this episode is for you.
