I would have loved to go to this…I’m a day one Top Chef fan and half of the talent came from there. I definitely will check out next years.

Me too.

Even if just to stay at the resort that Johnson built. :whoo:

Less than 100 miles from the city that was the Confederate Capitol, too.

This looks like it was a good time. Exactly what we need when there are forces trying to pull us apart.
.
Story is an extension of the Afrocentric Edition posts from the America's Most Powerful Black Families thread.

That segment of Blacks were viewed as a threat to the legal and social order of this country during slavery, Reconstruction, and jim crow eras. They occupied a precarious position, so they built and strengthened networks to survive. Both here, and with Blacks from and in different countries.

With the demographic trends in this country, the need to build and strengthen Black networks is still important. Decades from now...others will understand what forward thinking people already know. And what some of the Black elite knew centuries ago.

Excerpt from An Evening With Sheila Johnson, where she talks about the challenges of building the resort in that city.
