What happens when a world-class cultural destination decides Atlanta is its next partner?

🎧 Meryanne Loum-Martin built Jnane Tamsna, an acclaimed nine-acre boutique hotel in Marrakech, into a gathering place for the global Black diaspora. Now she's bringing that vision to Atlanta. If you care about Black cultural leadership, global art, and what it looks like to build real economic ecosystems across continents, this conversation is for you.

WABE Arts host Sherri Daye Scott speaks with Loum-Martin about the Atlanta artists whose work hangs in her hotel, the impromptu 95-person party that started it all, and why she launched the Diaspora Salon, an annual gathering of thinkers, artists, and entrepreneurs from 27 countries. Plus: her plans for a Black-owned boutique hotel brand and HBCU pipeline she wants to build with Atlanta at the center.
