By Besa Gordon - SEATTLE, The 3rd Annual Black Equity Ball is coming up on February 22 and I’m not just attending, I’m hosting AND holding it down on the red carpet!

This isn’t just a gala, it’s a whole experience dedicated to celebrating Black homeownership while inspiring the next wave of homeowners. Whether you’re already a homeowner or still working toward that goal, this is the place to be. We’re talking real estate pros, lenders, down payment assistance resources, AND a night full of live entertainment, a seated dinner, spoken word, live painting, and photo ops that’ll have you feeling like you just stepped into the Met Gala!

I got a chance to talk with Anzhane Slaughter, the CEO and founder of Young Black Homeowners to make sure you all have the scoop on this year's event.
