Description

This strategic session explores how individual professional journeys and diverse cultural backgrounds shape the foundational architectural models within Hospitality, Tourism, and Regional Development. We examine the operational frameworks that emerge when expertise, like that of Jackie Morrison—a Registered General Nurse and Independent Health Visitor with Jamaican heritage—is applied to broader community contexts. Her experience highlights the essential human elements that drive successful service delivery and regional growth.

This profile illustrates the power of ‘Legacy Building’ through personal narrative. It shows how professionals ‘Own their story,’ transforming varied passions—from travel and creative pursuits to dedicated community service—into robust frameworks for impact. This approach demonstrates how ‘From roots to relevance,’ individual contributions can significantly influence regional development, particularly within the context of African and African diaspora experiences.

A significant challenge in fostering robust regional development and innovative hospitality models is the under-leveraging of diverse professional and cultural insights. Many initiatives struggle to integrate the multi-disciplinary experiences of individuals, especially those from the African diaspora, into actionable strategies. This often results in missed opportunities for authentic community engagement and the creation of truly resonant service models.
