The B Suite is proud to introduce the Gatherer-in-Residence, a first-of-its-kind residency designed to support the people who make gathering possible.
Gatherers are the creatives, entrepreneurs, professionals, and cultural curators who hold space for Black joy, growth, and connection—often without much support themselves. This residency seeks to change that by providing an accessible space, light marketing, and strategic support to help bring visionary gatherings to life.
A select number of gatherers (including groups and individuals) will be selected to host one community-centered events of their own design between September and February 2026. From panel conversations to wellness circles, art pop-ups to intimate dinners, the Gatherer-in-Residence Fellowship provides a platform to amplify voices and celebrate Black creativity and community-building.

-
Discounted use of The B Suite to host one event
