“Ukubuk’ iindwendwe okunempembelelo” kungaphezulu kwesiqhelo – yintetho yamazwi yabaninzi abakwishishini lokwamkela iindwendwe, kwaye iBaltimore inkqenkqeza phambili kwiihotele zayo, iindawo ezinomtsalane, kunye nendawo yokutya.
Umzekelo, iHotele Revival, evulwe ngo-2018, ityhala imida kwindawo yaseBaltimore eMount Vernon, isebenzisa ukhenketho ukuphakamisa amashishini asekhaya kunye namazwi ngeendlela ezizodwa. Ukudibanisa kunye nokubandakanya igama elithi, "Impembelelo yobubele" ngokugqibeleleyo, i-Hotel Revival ibonelela ngemodeli yangoku yokucinga ukuba abaninzi kwishishini baya kwenza kakuhle ukuba bamkele i-trailblazer, uDonte Johnson.
It all started with a simple mission: Make Lives Better. Looking beyond the pandemic, however, this mission has only become more important at Hotel Revival, a boutique property that’s part of JDV by Hyatt Hotels. Along with the Georgetown Beeck Center for Social Impact and Innovation, the hotel began its social impact programs in 2020. It even hired its first Director of Culture & Impact, Jason Bass. By focusing on small local businesses and entrepreneurs, the hotel is creating opportunities for the local community to thrive alongside the hospitality industry.
Iziphumo ziye zabonakala. Ihotele ibambisene namashishini asekuhlaleni aphethwe ngabantu abambalwa aquka uMnyama kunye noLor Tush wabasetyhini ukuze abonelele ngephepha lendlu yangasese ngoqalo, kunye neBlack-owned Black Acres Roastery ukubonelela ngekofu egumbini. Imenyu yayo edumileyo yeZero Proof Zero Judgment kwibar yehotele ibonisa indlela iqela le-Hotel Revival licinga ngayo ngaphandle kwebhokisi ukuqinisekisa ukuba wonke umntu unokuzuza kwinto eyenzekayo ngaphakathi kweendonga zayo.
Konke oku kuya kuNdwendwela uMongameli we-Baltimore kunye ne-CEO yeqhinga lika-Al Hutchinson kunye nendlela enkulu yokwenza isixeko sase-Baltimore ngoTyelelo lwase-Baltimore silingane ngakumbi kwaye sibandakanywe ngamaphulo afana neNkqubo yolwamkelo olufudumeleyo.
Kwi-Baltimore yonke, imizekelo efanayo ikuyo yonke indawo kwaye ngokundwendwela, abahambi banokuthatha inxaxheba kwimpembelelo enkulu yobubele kwisiXeko saseCharm.
Umlawuli omtsha weMyuziyam yoMbono waseMelika, uJenenne Whitfield, ukwajonge ukuqhubeka nomsebenzi wemyuziyam ekukhuthazeni ubulungisa bentlalo kunye nobandakanyo ngemiboniso yayo. Ngokwenza umboniso wamagcisa azifundisayo, le myuziyam eyaziwayo kuzwelonke ilingana nebala lokudlala kwaye inika ilizwi kumazwi angengowabantu kunye nabangamelwanga phantsi eMelika.
Nakwindawo yokutyela yaseBaltimore, kwiMarike yaseLexington esandula ukulungiswa, abathengisi bajonge ukuya ngaphaya kokunyanga indlala yabantu, beqaqambisa amashishini asekuhlaleni ngoosomashishini abaNtsundu. I-Tossed Together, umzekelo, inika imveliso entsha kunye ne-smoothies kwaye ngoku ivuliwe kwiMarike entsha yaseLexington. Umnini-ndlela uTselane-Danielle Holloway ufuna ukwenza ukutya okunempilo kufikeleleke kuluntu lwengingqi.
Ayipheli ekutyeni. Kwakhona kwimarike, i-Urban Reads yabaMnyama iquka iincwadi ikakhulu ngababhali abaMnyama kunye namabanjwa, umnini owandisayo uTia Hamilton wevenkile yeencwadi yoluntu kwiMarike yaseLexington.
Iinkokeli zasekuhlaleni ezisemva kwale mitsalane zihlala zisithi “ewe” kwiimbono ezintsha ezinceda uluntu olungqongileyo. Ngelixa abaninzi kwishishini lokuhamba besokola ukufumana iindlela zokuphucula iindawo zabo zasekuhlaleni ngamashishini abo, amashishini asekhaya aseBaltimore akhokela ngomzekelo.
