“We have been using Hilton Hotels for the Inspire Tour since its inception in 2021, and to experience such blatant racism is both shocking and disheartening. Our community deserves better, and we cannot in good conscience continue to support a company that does not uphold the values of respect, inclusion and equity,” said Nikki Porcher, founder of Buy From A Black Woman.
The decision to cancel all Hilton Hotels & Resorts reservations and boycott the chain going forward reflects our commitment to standing against racism and ensuring a safe and inclusive environment for all.
“We are disappointed by Hilton Hotel’s handling of this issue and urge them to address these systemic problems within their organization. Our doors are open to discussing how we can move forward and work together to ensure that such incidents do not occur again,” Porcher continued.
Buy From A Black Woman will be making alternative arrangements for lodging for the remaining Washington, D.C. and Toronto, Ontario stops of the Inspire Tour, and we will continue to partner with businesses that align with our values of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
