It 422 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 5: was an experiment, and so more than eight hundred people 423 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 5: were selected to participate, and there was one group. Group 424 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 5: A got one thousand dollars per month for a year. 425 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 5: Group B got sixty five hundred dollars for the first 426 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 5: month and then five hundred dollars for the next eleven months, 427 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 5: and then groups see who was the control group they 428 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 5: got fifty dollars per month, And so about forty five 429 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 5: percent of participants in all of the groups were living 430 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 5: in a house or apartment that they rented our own 431 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 5: by the end of the ten months.

Yeah, 701 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 5: when it comes to hotel ownership, what percentage of black 702 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,959 Speaker 5: people are hotel owner is divined. 703 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 16: So they're actually over fifty nine thousand hotels in the 704 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 16: United States and less than one percent of the hotels 705 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 16: are owned by black people, less than probably what zero 706 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 16: point five percent probably owned by black women. 707 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 5: That is insane because we definitely stay at some hotels, 708 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 5: work at hotels. 709 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 16: So there was a report that was put out I 710 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 16: think it was by MMG Global that was put out 711 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 16: in twenty nineteen, I believe, and as a Black community, 712 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 16: the Black travel dollar was over one hundred and nine 713 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 16: with billion, but yet we own less than one percent, 714 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 16: So we're not even really circulating that money within our communities. 715 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 16: And so I'm on a mission, actually all three of us, 716 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 16: we're on a mission to increase that. So I have courses, 717 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 16: you know, I have the book by Hotel. 718 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 9: You know. 719 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 16: I've launched a platform called a Vestor's crowd funding platform 720 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 16: where individuals are sponsors can raise capital or equity for 721 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 16: their hotel. And one of the main reasons I create 722 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 16: Investor so folks can actually invest in me. You can 723 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 16: invest in properties is little as five thousand dollars. Typically 724 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 16: investing in hotels is a minimum of seven figures or 725 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 16: very high six figures. And I saw that there was 726 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 16: an opportunity for our community because there are people who 727 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 16: do want to diversify their investment portfolio. And so that's 728 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 16: why I wanted to make sure that I see people 729 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 16: who look like me, you know, in the ownership space. 730 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 16: I'm glad that at these ownership conferences there's more and 731 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 16: more people who are looking like us. When I'm in 732 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 16: the boardrooms, I want to see more people who look 733 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 16: like me. I want to see more owner representation. And 734 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,959 Speaker 16: the reason why because owners make decisions right. 735 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 9: We can put people in jobs. 736 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 16: If somebody wants to actually do business with the hotel, 737 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 16: meaning you know, put their soaps. 738 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 3: Put their coffee in, and that's a big deal. 739 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 16: I saw that there was an opportunity and now I'm 740 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 16: in a position and I've created a community and a platform, 741 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 16: and the brands are and they've been seeing their brands, 742 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 16: hotel brands that have diversity programs. Choice has the Emerging 743 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 16: Markets will now it's sore, WNDOM has Bold and Women 744 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 16: on the Room, and IHG has the Lift program and 745 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 16: so they're really starting to see the opportunity of diverse 746 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 16: hotel owners and they're working. 747 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 9: With folks like myself to get the message. 748 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 5: Up all right again, we have Devinea Reeves from the 749 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 5: Von Group, a mari Head and Damon Smith here with us. 750 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 5: We're talking about ownership of hotels.
