About this Event

Join the Black Hoteliers & Investors Association (BH&IA) for an intimate, high-value breakfast experience designed for investors, hospitality leaders, and mission-driven capital partners.

Over breakfast, you’ll gain exclusive access to:


  • Fireside Chat: S. Lovey Parker, BH&IA Founder and Executive Director, in conversation with Tracy L. Prigmore, Co-Owner of The Peridot Boutique Hotel, on the barriers, breakthroughs, and economic potential of Black ownership in hospitality.

  • Keynote Spotlight: A behind-the-scenes look at The Peridot — a Hyatt franchise boutique hotel in Atlanta’s growth corridor — from concept to brand partnership.

  • Investment Briefing: Explore the structure, terms, and pathway to close the final $2M raise before Sept 30, with direct insight from the project’s co-owners.

  • Networking & Q&A: Build relationships with BH&IA leadership, investors, and entrepreneurs shaping the future of hospitality ownership.

This is more than a deal room — it’s a movement to build $8B in Black-owned hotels and resorts by 2060. Your participation supports BH&IA’s nonprofit mission to accelerate equitable ownership and capital access in hospitality.
