Over the last 3 years I’ve helped to create, define, and embody the definition of Impact Hospitality. I frequently get asked the meaning of the words, impact hospitality, so I thought it would be helpful to give you my best attempt at providing an understanding. Let’s start with the definition of hospitality.

I have a personal and professional commitment to contribute to the improvement of our communities in ways that would be most meaningful to them. Over the past year, the Revival Baltimore team has developed a strong relationship with Tench-Tilghmen EMS in East Baltimore that started with volunteering to clean-up the exterior on a regular basis.

And the winner is…..

Most of the culture and impact programming we create at Revival isn’t common for traditional corporate spaces nor a hotel. One thing we’ve have established over the last 2 years is our commitment to entrepreneurs and community.

Last night we had the pitch competition for our first cohort of the 2022 BRB Program created by B.E.L.L. and Revival Baltimore. The competition was the next phase of the BRB program and would allow the willing participants to compete for a $10,000 cash prize

My professional journey was and is far from traditional. At every milestone in life, I’d attempt to slide into the most familiar industry tracks created by family and friends with the hope that it would lead to a successful future if I followed the rules. After high school, you’re expected to decide on a profession that defines you for life. Honestly who TF knows at 17 what they’re supposed to do with their lives?

MId-May I received an email that I’ve been selected to get the 2022 HDAC Excellence Award and could I come to New York in a few weeks to accept it. The email came from an unknown source and from an unknown person asking me to do something, which these days triggers thoughts of a potential scam, but I did a little digging and it was legit HAHA.

They said it, I didn’t, but I am the official 2022 ICON of Culture Award winner :) I appreciate the recognition and the love ILC. Read more about the full experience….

Donte Johnson and I were invited to attend and speak at the 2022 Black Travel Summit “Stay Fly” in Miami. Black travel, luxury, and hospitality experiences have become important to me personally and professionally.

Just like everyone else, I starts off the year with a set of new goals. So I decided to share them in my first YouTube video
