Chidi Ashley Turned Travel Into Ownership. Here’s How.
Would you invest in this African luxury hotel?


Chidi Ashley, Founder Luxe Tribes and Nuru Marrakesh
A few years ago, Chidi Ashley set out to create unforgettable travel experiences for Black travelers around the world. That dream became Luxe Tribes, a community that’s now one of the biggest of its kind.
But for Chidi, it was never just about travel. The bigger question was: how do Africans in the diaspora own real assets back home?
Today, she’s answering that with Nuru Marrakesh, a boutique luxury hotel in Morocco, and the first of many she plans to build across Africa.

On Thursday, Oct 2 at 5PM WAT, she’ll sit down with our founder, Joe Kinvi, for a rare conversation about building across borders, investing in real assets and the mindset it takes to turn vision into ownership.
This is a front-row seat into how diaspora capital can shape Africa’s future.
This conversation with Chidi will help you see what’s possible when the diaspora builds together, as investors, as founders or as ecosystem builders.

Chidi is raising funds for Nuru Marrakech through Raise by Borderless, our solution that helps entrepreneurs turn early support into clean, compliant capital. Nuru Marrakesh has secured $3.2 Million in committed capital, with several family offices and institutional investors joining the raise.
