Our goal is to highlight Black Excellence. As such, we often choose to bring Black hospitality experts as our honored guests to showcase their craft, achievements, and greatness besides ours. We have often stood shoulder to shoulder with these folks in the trenches of Detroit’s industry. They deserve to shine and we want to make sure that they do. When you are in need of an agent of hospitality, they are who you should call. So call them.
