When Dr. Andre Perry stepped to the podium our Juneteenth gathering came alive.
His keynote presentation set the stage for powerful discussions on building generational wealth and community power through commercial real estate ownership.
Dr. Perry’s research revealed something profound: commercial corridors aren’t just business districts—they’re gateways to Black communities where ownership builds lasting wealth and literally extends lives. When community members become co-owners in these developments, everyone wins.
What followed Dr. Perry’s keynote was a dynamic panel discussion with expert panelists: Lyneir Richardson, Tonya Trice, Christyn S. Freemon, and Deon Lucas, moderated by Nneka Onwuzurike, who shared their insights, frameworks and experiences in the industry. We’re deeply grateful to our speakers, panelists, and partners who brought their wisdom and experience to the table.
Whether you were there or missed it, these resources are designed to accelerate your ownership journey and create lasting community impact.
